In Hazen-Williams coefficient, the hydraulic gradient is one of the parameters used in the equation to calculate the flow rate of water through a pipe. The hydraulic grade, or hydraulic gradient, is a parameter in hydraulic engineering, as it helps determine the direction and rate of flow of water in a pipe or open channel. It takes into account the elevation changes and head losses along the flow path.
