Question: A stream with the cross-section shown in the previous figure has a flow rate of 5 m^3/s. The stream has a longitudinal slope of 0.002
A stream with the cross-section shown in the previous figure has a flow rate of 5 m^3/s. The stream has a longitudinal slope of 0.002 m/m and a natural stony bottom (n = 0.050, stations 0 to 8).
- Using Manning's equation, what is the water surface elevation of the stream?
- What is the maximum capacity of the channel?
- How would the capacity of the channel be affected if you were to pave the center of the channel (n = 0.013) between stations 3 and 5?
