Abstract 
The Lateral Distribution Method of computing flow profiles
in open channels is used to provide stage-discharge curves and
conveyances for a reach of a two stage channel on the River
Main in Northern Ireland. Comparisons are made between
computed and measured flow profiles, stage-discharge curves
and floodplain depth hydrographs. The Lateral Distribution
Method is shown to be more accurate than the Divided
Channel Method for estimating conveyances for this site with
a compact compound channel.
