Question: ( ii ) A trapezoidal channel section of bottom width 3 . 5 m and side slopes 1 . 5 H : 1 . 0

(ii) A trapezoidal channel section of bottom width 3.5m and side slopes 1.5H:1.0V, conveys a flow of 12.0 cumees at a depth of flow of 1.75m. For cross regulation works, it is proposed to have a gradual drop in the bed of the channel. Assuming the transition to take place with an energy loss of 14% of the upstream flow depth, and allowable change in water surface level (y) is 30cm, determine:
(a) Whether there will be a rise or drop in the DS water surface elevation ?
(b) Drop of the channel bed level (z) in the DS section.
(c) State of flow in the DS exprision section.
