Equation of Continuity is defined as the mean velocities at all cross sections having equal
areas are then equal, and if the areas are not equal, the velocities are inversely proportional to
the areas of the respective cross sections." Thus, if the flow is constant in a reach of channel the
product of the area and velocity will be the same for any two cross sections within that reach.
Looking the units of the product of area and velocity leads to the definition of flow rate.
Where:
Q = the volumetric flow rate
A = the cross-sectional area of flow
V = the mean velocity
