Where do the following relations come from?
• Bankfull Depth Hbf ~ (Qbf)0.4
• Bankfull Width Bbf ~ (Qbf)0.5
• Bed Slope S ~ (Qbf)-0.3
where Qbf = bankfull discharge

THE PHYSICAL RELATIONS NECESSARY TO CHARACTERIZE THE PROBLEM
Required: four relations in the four unknownsHbf, Bbf, S, QbT,bf.
1. Resistance relation (Manning-Strickler):
2. Gravel bedload transport relation (Parker 1979 approximation of Einstein 1950):
3. Relation for channel-forming Shields number bf*
(Parker 1978): and
4. Relation for gravel yield from basin (not determined solely by channel mechanics).

RELATION FOR GRAVEL YIELD FROM BASIN AT BANKFULL FLOW
This relations is external to the channel itself, and instead characterizes how the channels in a watershed interact with the unchannelized hillslopes. The necessary relation should be a dimensionless version of the form
where nbT must be evaluated.

WORKING BACKWARD
Rather than working forward from the basic physical relations to the hydraulic relations, let’s work backward and find out what the form the physical relations must be to get the observed hydraulic relations.
