You can't...
Pressure is influenced by many other factors, temperature and density for example... Also the height is a factor (atmospheric pressure)

Why do particles carried by a river settle to the bottom as the river enters the ocean?
Because the velocity of the river water decreases as it enters the ocean.
What is a good sign in a river that the velocity of the running water has changed at a certain point?

A cliff diver plans to jump off a cliff into a river and needs to know the velocity with which she will strike the water. it takes a rock 2.5 seconds to reach the water. what'ld her final velocity be?
80 ft / sec ~ 55mph The above ignores air resistance which will not be significant at this speed.
What is the fastest moving river in the world?
The River Amazon is the second longest river in the world at 4,000 miles long.The Amazon is in South America.The River Nile is the longest river at 4,132 miles long.
What event leads to the development of flood plains and deltas?
The yearly increase in runoff caused by spring meltwater, or by monsoon rains, are what trigger flooding in river basins. The year-round processes of erosion and sediment transport are what form the characteristic plains and deltas, as silt carried down the river drops out of the water when it tops its banks, or when the water slows in velocity, as at the mouth of a river.
How does channel roughness influence river velocity?
These obstacles causes friction between water and rocks.This ultimately reduces the velocity of river water.The more roughness of the channel, the less the river`s velocity.
What term describes the speed of the flow of water in a river or a river stream?
velocity

A boat heading north crosses a wide river with a speed of 10kmhr relative to water the river has a speed of 5kmhr due east what is the velocity of the boat w respect to a stationary ground observer?
Use Pythagoras' theorem to calculate the magnitude of the velocity (the speed): Sqrt(10^2 + 5^2) = sqrt(125) = 11.2 km/h
Why is a river's velocity higher in riffles than pools?
because pools are standing water.

How does the flow of water change where a river bends?
The speed of water at a river bend flows much faster and deeper on the outside of the bend. On the inside of the bend the velocity is much slower and shallower.
How does the gradient of a river affect its flow?
The gradient of a river is mostly flat or downhill which means that as the water flows it is affected by gravity. The steeper the gradient goes downhill, the more gravity will affect the water which will make the water flow faster (increases the velocity).
What does a rivers power to erode depend on?
A river's power to erode depends on the gradient, the volume and velocity, and the quantity of erosive burden. A river will normally move outwards on bends, deepening the farthest channel, and thus increasing the erosion on that bank.
What is the closest body of water near the Eiffel tower?
The Seine River... the Eiffel tower is based on this river! (:
