Abstract
Natural or introduced vegetation often comprises the largest component of composite channel roughness in flood plains, flood control channels, and naturally occurring rivers and streams. Recent research has yielded numerous techniques for predicting Manning's "n" for flexible vegetation. This paper presents a comparison of several of these techniques. New data obtained from recent laboratory studies involving actual vegetation is used to independently validate and compare the various techniques.
