Question: For a construction project, a long rectangular channel of width B 1 = 2 5 m carrying a flow at a volumetric rate of Q

For a construction project, a long rectangular channel of width B1=25m carrying a flow at a
volumetric rate of Q=250m^(3)//s at a normal depth of y_(n1)=4m needs to be temporarily narrowed to
B2=13m, using sheet piles, at a certain location. Assuming a smooth transition (no energy loss) at
the contraction and that the bottom slope is very gentle, calculate all possible water depth forming
upstream, at and downstream of the transition, and plot and name the GVF profiles forming in the
channel.
For a construction project, a long rectangular
