Description
Summary:This paper presents comparison of differents methods of bankfull discharge calculation. The methods used were: Gauckler-Manning [Chow 1959], Williams [1978], Wolman and Leopold [Leopold et al. 1964], Hey and Thorne [Thorne et al. 1997]. Calculations were carried out for the Raba river. The results shows that there is not one method which is better than the other, results are differing depending on what is took into account.
