Detailed explanation-1: -Stream discharge is the quantity (volume) of water passing by a given point in a certain amount of time. It is calculated as Q = V * A, where V is the stream velocity and A is the stream’s cross-sectional area.

Detailed explanation-2: -The volume of water flowing past a certain point in a given amount of time is a river’s discharge.

Detailed explanation-3: -’River discharge’ is the volume of water flowing through a river channel; measured at any given point in cubic metres per second.

Detailed explanation-4: -Flow-The amount of water passing a particular point in a stream or river, usually expressed in cubic feet per second (cfs). Flow augmentation-Increased flow from release of water from storage dams. Fluvial-Migrating between main rivers and tributaries. Of or pertaining to streams or rivers.

Detailed explanation-5: -Discharge is the volume of water moving down a waterway per unit of time. It is most commonly expressed in cubic feet per seconds or gallons per day. To calculate discharge, multiply the area of water in a channel cross section by the average velocity of water in that cross section.
