How does an increase in a streams velocity affect its discharge and carrying capacity?

When the discharge of a stream increases, so does it's velocity. When it decreases, so does the velocity.


How does the velocity of a stream effect its carring capacity?

The higher the velocity of the stream the larger carrying capacity it has.


How does a river's velocity affect its competence and capacity?

the competence and capacity of a steam depend on a streams velocity and discharge. Because the velocity and discharge of a given stream are not constant , the competence and capacity of a stream are not constant . competence and capacity vary along a stream and change throughout the year.


Seepage velocity and discharge velocity?

Discharge Velocity is obtained by Dividing the Total Discharge by the total cross Sectional Area , Where Total cross sectional area Consists of void+solid. In contrast .. Seepage Velocity is defined as the total discharge by the Area of voids only. So Seepage velocity always greater than Discharge Velocity.


When the discharge of a stream increases what happens to the streams velocity?

When a stream's discharge increases, erosive energy increases.


What is difference between discharge velocity and seepage velocity?

discharge velocity is the quantity of flow that flows through a unit cross sectional area of the soil in a unit time discharge velocity is used to determine the quantity of flow through soil seepage velocity the actual rate of movement of the water as measured with dye tracer for instance, is the seepage velocity

What is the velocity of plume migration of a contaminent spill?

it is the velocity (V) divided by the retardation of the contaminant. The velocity, V is different from the regular velocity (which is Discharge/Area). V = regular velocity/porosity
