How to know at what speed the water of the river

You have never wondered at what speed the water of a river drops, surely yes! Well the answer thanks to this article is easy. Follow the instructions that we explain to you step by step and you will know how to measure the speed of the river.

Steps to follow:

one

To start measuring the speed of the river water you should point to the shore, in an area where the water runs in a straight line, two points distant at 20 meters.

two

Throw a piece of wood in the center of the river and, with the clock in your hand, calculate how many seconds it takes to travel the 20 meters that separate the two points.

3

Multiply the resulting figure by 50 and you will have the number of seconds that the current uses in the one kilometer course.

4

Divide then 3600 (which is the number of seconds you have an hour) by the number you have obtained before.

5

The result of this operation will be the speed per hour of the river, that is, you will know exactly how many kilometers per hour the river crosses.
