Standard Step Method Example

This document shows the results of a standard step backwater profile calculation for a river reach with a bottom width of 7m, an initial flow of 0.0247 cumecs, and a flow increment of 0.5m. The table contains the elevation, flow depth, flow area, specific force, energy, slope, and change in elevation for increments of 0.5m along the reach extending 5m upstream from the initial cross-section. A graph shows the backwater profile of increasing depth along the river's length.
