How do you calculate velocity and discharge of a stream?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Found part .... Water velocity = volumetric flow rate÷cross-sectional area

OpenStudy (vincent-lyon.fr):

Correct! You also have: mass flow rate = density x volume flow rate

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I found discharge as width*Depth*Velocity

OpenStudy (vincent-lyon.fr):

No idea what "discharge" means in this case.

OpenStudy (vincent-lyon.fr):

It might be a synonym of volume flow rate.
