Key Information

Manning's n-values are based on a case study where HEC-2 was used to model the area near the junction of the Murray and Little Murray Rivers near Swan Hill.

Manning' n-values for the Murray River and Little Murray Rivers near Swan Hill, calibrated to the November 1975 flood. Flow is 380 cumec in the Murray River downstream of the Little Murray confluence (source: Keller, 1982 (see above))
