Juniper Publishers- Open Access Journal of Environmental Sciences & Natural Resources Channel Flow and Depth Relationship in a Forested Stream in the Humid Tropical Environment, Niger Delta Nigeria Authored by Chukwu-Okeah Gift O Abstract The study was set to ascertain the relationship that exists between channel flow and depth in a forested stream, to achieve this study was poised to identify the type of flow prevalent in the forested stream, examine the relationship between channel flow and depth and ascertain variation in channel flow and channel depth in the different reaches in Chinda creek. To achieve this, velocity reading was taken from 30 sampling points which were identified as reaches in the 643.275m Chinda creek channel, velocity measurements was taken both on the surface and beneath precisely at 0.2m and 0.8m respectively with the use of a digital velocity metre and the channel depth was determined with the aid of a calibrated levelling staff. The study has carefu
