Sheet Flow Vs Shallow Concentrated Flow

Sheet Flow Vs Shallow Concentrated Flow - Shallow concentrated flow can occur as rills or gullies and are collectively called concentrated flow paths (cfps). Surface flow is represented by the lines with arrows showing travel along the surface These cfps often occur in draws and swales that occur naturally due to topography. Surface flow takes the form of sheet flow, shallow concentrated flow, and/or channel flow. Web sheet flow usually becomes shallow concentrated flow after around 100 feet. Open channels are assumed to begin where surveyed cross section information has been obtained, where channels are visible on aerial photographs, or where blue lines (indicating streams) appear on usgs quadrangle sheets.
