Water flows down a trapezoidal channel having a constant longitudinal bed slope of 0.0005 and a Manning roughness coefficient of 0.024. The channel cross section has a base width of 15m and slide slopes of 1:1. At a certain point in the channel the depth of flow is found to be decreasing at a rate of 1 in 10,000 and at this point the depth is 5m. Working with the gradually varied flow equation estimate the discharge in the channel.
