Determine what is the average speed of the river

Reference no: EM13548556

A river 24.0 m wide and 5.0 m deep drains a 3000.0 km2 land area in which the average precipitation is 48 cm/year. One-eighth of this rainfall returns to the atmosphere by evaporation, but the remainder ultimately drains into the river. What is the average speed of the river?
