Abstract
The discussers thank the author for writing an informative and thought-provoking paper. Predicting the lateral distribution of boundary shear stress in open-channel flows is an intractable issue, and any theoretical work in this area is to be welcomed. The purpose of this discussion is twofold: first, to compare the analysis developed by the author to experimental data; and second, to seek clarification on several areas of potential confusion, which may be due to typographical errors.
