Question: Determine the channel width ( w ) to depth ( d ) ratio at sediment threshold conditions. The rectangular channel carries a bankfull peak discharge

Determine the channel width (w) to depth (d) ratio at sediment threshold conditions. The rectangular channel carries a bankfull peak discharge of 540 m3/s and has a longitudinal slope is0.0015. The channel bed conditions are underloose (very strong structure). Information is available from a riverbed survey which has determined that the bed material consists of gravel with a D50 of 25 mm.In your solution, assume that w/d >20.
