    The document provides a table listing roughness coefficients (n values) for various channel materials used in the Manning equation. The table includes n values for lined channels made of materials like asphalt, concrete, metal and plastic. It also includes n values for vegetated channels with plants like Bermuda grass and Kudzu. Additionally, the table provides n values for different types of earth channels and natural streams as well as different pipe materials.

    Tracers
    Another method of estimating the mean velocity of flow is by using
    tracers. A dye or colored fluid may be injected into the flow below the sur-
    face at about 0.2 of the flow depth. The time required for the tracer to move
    a measured distance from the point of injection is recorded. This should be
    done several times and the distance divided by the average time to obtain
    the velocity.

    CurrentMeters
    Current meters can be used, where accurate point velocities within the
    flow are required. The flow rate can be obtained by measuring a series of
