Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The discharge of a stream is calculated by multiplying the cross-sectional area of the stream by the velocity of the water flow. Here, the area is 1 meter deep x 2 meters wide = 2 square meters, and the velocity is 5 meters per second. Thus, the discharge is 2 m^2 * 5 m/s = 10 cubic meters per second (m^3/s).
