| 'n' value range | Good condition turf grass | Other |
|---|---|---|
| 0.002 - 0.010 | Where the average depth of flow is at ≥ 2 times the height of the vegetation | Supple tree seedlings such as willow or cottonwood growing where the average depth of flow is at ≥ 3 times the height of the vegetation |
| 0.010 - 0.025 | Where the average depth of flow is between 1 - 2 times the height of the vegetation | Moderately dense weeds, or tree seedlings growing where the average depth of flow is from 2 -3 times the height of the vegetation |
| 0.025 - 0.050 | Where the average depth of flow is about equal to the height of the vegetation | 8- to 10-year-old willow or cottonwood trees inter-grown with some weeds and brush (none of the vegetation in foliage) |
| 0.050 - 0.100 | Where the average depth of flow is < 0.5 times height of the vegetation | bushy willow trees about 1 year old inter-grown with weeds along side slopes (all vegetation in full foliage) |
