The drainage area is not an important factor in determining stream discharge because it is not the main force behind stream discharge.

<h3>What is a stream discharge?</h3>

This refers to the volume of water that flows through a stream or river per unit of time.

This discharge are usually calculated by using the measurements of the stream’s velocity, its depth and width

The factors that affect stream discharge includes:

  • the width & depth of the river

In physical oceanography, the wave base is the highest depth at which the route of a water wave creates substantial movement of water. For water depths greater than the base of the wave, the underlying sediments and the seabed are no longer disturb by the above wave motion.Wave height is the lateral distance between the waves and the wave's crest from taken from bottom of the trough.
