Abstract
Significant statistical relationships were defined between shear stress exerted by flows of certain recurrence intervals on stream beds and grain-size distribution. Based upon these relationships it is proposed to determine discharge-frequency curves in ungaged reaches in the arid Negev of Israel. Application of the method requires measurement of the hydraulic geometry of the desired reach and the grain size of some samples in it. The method was applied to the lower reach of Nahal Zin and the 50- and 100-yr. peak discharges were estimated. The results were found to agree with an estimate based upon an assessment of discharge per unit area in the same drainage basin.
