A trapezoidal channel with a bottom width of 5m and side slope of 1V:2H is constructed
to convey a steady discharge to a hydropower installation. This is made up of concrete
with a Manning's n = 0.016 and bed slope of 3V:2000H.
a. Determine the discharge and velocity if the discharge has a 2m-depth of water?
b. Calculate the depth if discharge is 35m³/s?
c. As shown below, when flooded, the flow goes over the top of the channel. If the
flood channels are 10 m. wide and with side slopes of 1V:3H, and roughness is
n=0.035, what is the discharge for a flood level of 4m?
