Flow (''Q'') in an open channel, such as a swale, may be calculated using Manning's equation:
Flow (''Q'') in an open channel, such as a [[swale]], may be calculated using Manning's equation:
<math>Q=VA=\frac{R^{\frac{2}{3}}S^{\frac{1}{2}}}{n}</math>
<math>Q=VA=\frac{R^{\frac{2}{3}}S^{\frac{1}{2}}}{n}</math>
Where:
Where:
*''P'' = the wetted perimeter of the swale (m)
*''P'' = the wetted perimeter of the swale (m)
*''S'' = the longitudinal slope (m/m)
*''S'' = the longitudinal slope (m/m)
*''n'' = Manning's coefficient (dimensionless)}}
*''n'' = [[Manning's coefficient]] (dimensionless)}}
