Determining Drag Coefficients and Area for Vegetation

Abstract

The technical note (TN) "Resistance Due to Vegetation" (Ecosystem Management and Restoration Research Program (EMRRP) TN SR-7) presents equations for the evaluation of Manning's resistance coefficient in floodways occupied by vegetation. These equations require an estimate of the drag coefficient and area for the vegetation. This technical note presents a means to make these estimates.
