Abstract: A technique based on measuring the water surface slope to determine the discharge in regulated rivers is adopted to reaches characterised by free flow conditions. To substitute measurement data a numerical modelling is performed. Although the benefits are not so significant as it has been attested for the application in regulated reaches, the author has concluded that with very little calculation effort and a simple, but to some extend exclusive measurement set up, it is possible to achieve precise results of the actual discharge especially at flooding events.
