C. Major streams (surface width at flood stage more than 100 ft.):
Roughness coefficient is usually less than for minor streams of similar description
on account of less effective resistance offered by irregular banks or vegetation on banks.

brush, may be in the range of.............................................................0.028 - 0.033
