An introductory technical guide to river hydraulics, specifically focusing on the hydrodynamic resistance and sediment transport found in natural watercourses. Aronne Armanini explores how equivalent roughness, including complex factors like riparian vegetation and macro-roughness, influences flow velocity and depth in mountain and piedmont streams. The source establishes a theoretical framework by adapting uniform flow principles from circular pipes to open channels, utilizing classical equatio
