Howdy,
My brother is in civil engineering and he said it depends on depth and width of the river to calculate a velocity. However velocity is only half the issue, your ability to safely stand a particular current is directly effected by it's depth. I.E. if it's only a few inches deep you can
I know if it's safe as soon as I see it. If not then, when I get in it. I
know that's not the answer you're looking for but I think there are way to
many variables to be able to say what's safe or not depending on the river.

My reason for asking is for those times when you are thinking about
travelling to a river that you are unfamiliar with. Checking the flow
chart might give an indication of whether you should bother to make the
trip or not.
