At the outflow spot of Little Alamance Creek into Greater Alamance Creek, baseflow (i.e., the natural flow before any rainfall is added) is measured with a velocity (i.e., flow rate) of 0.9 ft/sec. If the baseflow stream width averages 20 feet wide and 6 inches deep, what is the average baseflow discharge (i.e., volume flow per unit time) in both cubic feet per second and cubic meters per second?

Question 48 A circular pipe has a diameter of 1m, bed slope of 1 in 1000, and Manning's roughness coefficient equal to 0.01. It may be treated as an open channel flow when it is flowing just full, i.e., the water level just touches the crest. The discharge in this condition is denoted by Qfull- Similarly, the discharge when the pipe is flowing half-full i.e., with a flow depth of 0.5m, is denoted by Qhalf. The ratio Qfull/Qhalf İs:
