dc.description.abstract	A two-dimensional velocity profile based upon the principle of maximum entropy (POME) for wide open channel flows is presented. The derivation is based on the conservation of mass and momentum. The resulting profile involves three parameters that are determined from observations of mean velocity and the velocity at the water surface. The velocity profile is verified using field data in a river with a live bed. A comparison with three existing methods shows that the profile presented is the most accurate of the three, especially near the bed.	en
