Solution
Step1. Draw Stage (H) Versus Discharge (Q) relationship on the Arithmetic paper.
Thus, Ho = 24.6m at Q =0m3/s from rating curve below, Then proceed the
work until R2 is nearest to 1.0(best global minima estimation).

R2 = =0.99049 >0.6 or 99.049% which is more nearest to 1 or 100%.
.
Therefore, good correlation and the linear relationship is appropriate for the
above data. So, the rating curve equation developed so preferable.

Example2.(velocity-area method)
The rating curve of a current meter used for measuring velocity in a small
river is given as V=0.62N+0.032 m/s, where N is the rev/sec. The depth of
flow is measured above the river bed and the velocity is measured at the mid
of the sections.Use mid section method
