dc.description.abstractAn improved methodology has been developed for the determination of Manning's n and other hydraulic roughness values for shrubs and woody vegetation. This method involves the measurement of horizontal plant density, stem diameter, and the height and width of the leaf mass of a typical plant. Recent investigation has shown that the plant stiffness modulus may be predicted with good accuracy by using stem diameter and plant height in a non-linear relationship. New relationships have been developed for the calculation of Mannings n values for both submerged and partially submerged vegetation. These relationships for flow through vegetated channels still require a trial and error solution when both depth and velocity are unknown, but simplify the solution technique significantly. A stage-discharge table can now be directly constructed for flood elevation studies without trial and error solutions. A simple example of the calculation of Manning's n values using the method is presented so that the practitioner can follow the method and apply it in the field.
