The brook was a brisk little affair, hurrying along in its well-defined channel, apparently as full of business as it was full of trout. Yes, of trout! They were there in abundance, darting to the higher waters like a streaks of smoke and flame, against the foamy rush of a narrow channel, or sulking under the shadow of the bank in the quiet pool below....
Old Wells and Water-Courses of the Island of Manhattan, by George Everett Hill and George E Waring, Jr, 1897

ModelingMinetta a hydrological detective hunt Factors affecting the Minnetta Brook in 1782: Incoming water:
• Rainfall [variable] • Groundwater [Assume: 4,000 gallons per minute. Thatʼs about the equivalent of a
4ʼ diameter pipe flowing at about ½ mile per hour, which is my estimate of what the Minetta was like on a decent dry day. Near one of the sources in 1901 a contractor also hit an underground flow of 1,750 gpm in 1901. Also assume evenly spread throughout watershed, just like rainfall.]Flow rate = (1/4)*π*((pipe diameter)^2)*Velocityhttp://www.1728.com/flowrate.htm
Flow factors:
• Surface elevations (historic DEM) – • Porosity (historic)
