MHKIT is unable to calculate river discharge from transect data. The software Winriver documents their process to interpolate the edges of the transect area discharge in pages 101-106 of this user guide:

Currently USGS VMT has Matlab code available for download that used similar techniques to calculate discharge.

@browniea I can send you some code that does this - it's messy and will need clean up

That would be awesome! I can work on that after UMERC.

@browniea Following up if you've been able to work on this?

Not sure if @browniea has made progress on this, but it shouldn't be a difficult lift. Testing could be difficult, depending on the data available.

Started PR #385 to close this issue. Not sure how to solve the "unmeasured nearshore discharge" in the figure, and if that is necessary.
