Abstract
The results of an extensive series of dilution experiments in four steep, gravel streams (409 individual slug injections representing 39 separate flow events) are presented. Precision, expressed as per cent probable error about the mean, of four pertinent parameters –– tracer integral, mean velocity, discharge and flow area –– is investigated. Individual errors range from 1 to 21%, with median values ranging from 4.7 to 7.3% and modal errors ranging from 3.6 to 6.8% depending upon the derived parameter.
