Abstract
A method for estimating stream flow data of a channel includes steps of acquiring direct measurement of an index velocity of the channel, acquiring stage measurements for the channel for use in determining slope of a free surface, and applying a data-driven model combining the index velocity and a continuous slope-area method which uses the slope of the free surface to estimate stream flow data of the channel without using conventional rating curves. The direct measurement of the index velocity and the stage measurements may be received at a computing device executing instructions for applying the data-driven model.
