Question
Suppose the stream mentioned in the previous question developed extensive meanders that lengthened its course to 3000 kilometers. Calculate the new gradient. How does meandering affect gradient?

Uniform flow in a sluggish channel having a nearly rectangular cross section that is 498 ft wide and 16.5 ft deep carries a flow of $8,250 \mathrm{ft}^{3} / \mathrm{s}$. Approximately how much does the water surface elevation drop along a river mile?
