Abstract
The report describes the equation development for estimating reaeration coefficients for low-slope streams using weighted, multiple, stepwise regression techniques. The new equation was developed by analysis of 14 measured physical, hydraulic, and water-quality characteristics of reaches. Twenty-nine stream tracer studies were conducted on 24 reaches of 18 naturally flowing low-slope streams in Massachusetts and New York. The reaches represented most types of low-slope stream channels commonly occurring in Massachusetts and New York. This report also describes the results of an error analysis of 19 commonly used reaeration-coefficient estimating equations.
