The Law of Conservation of Mass states that mass is indestructible.
If steady flow exists in a channel and the principle of conservation of
mass is applied to the system, there exists a  continuity of flow, defined
as: "The mean velocities at all cross sections having equal areas are
then equal, and if the areas are not equal, the velocities are inversely
proportional to the areas of the respective cross sections.“ This is
expressed in the Continuity Equation:
