Estimate what is the average speed of the river

Reference no: EM13545974

A river 18.0m wide and 4.0m deep drains a 3000.0km2 land area in which the average precipitation is 48cm/year. One-tenth 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?
