A current meter was used to determine the discharge of stream 15m wide. Soundings were taken at a distance of 5m and 10m from the water edge (left to right) and the depths of water were recorded as 1.5m and 2.0 m respectively. The velocities obtained from the current meter are 0.50 m/sec and 0.48 m/sec (from left to right). Determine the total discharge of the stream. What is the mean velocity of the river? Select the correct response: 0.358 m/sec 0.839 m/sec 1.103 m/sec 1.234 m/sec
