EXAMPLE For a source contaminant concentration ${\displaystyle \ C_{0}}$ entering a flow of velocity ${\displaystyle {\vec {U}}}$ at a distance ${\displaystyle \ x}$ upstream from a point, the downstream concentration ${\displaystyle \ C}$ at that point is determined by the ratio...

${\displaystyle {\frac {C}{C_{0}}}=e^{\frac {x*{\vec {U}}}{D}}}$

Where... ${\displaystyle \ D}$ is the local dispersion coefficient determined by ${\displaystyle \ D=0.067*depth*V_{f}}$

and where friction velocity is ${\displaystyle V_{f}={\sqrt {g*depth*ChannelSlope}}}$
