watercourse has a trapezoidal section (see figure below). Determine the value of the section area, the wetted perimeter as well as the width of the LV mirror
Below we will find representative data from a river section:
\table[[Distance ,Elevation (m)],[0,403],[10,403],[30,398],[80,398],[110,403],[120,403]]
For this part of the river, the Manning roughness coefficient is estimated at 0.05 and the slope of the bed is measured at 1 in 1000. a) Assuming that the flow is steady and uniform, estimate the normal depth of this river channel for a measured flow of 310m3s. We know that the flow remains inside the main channel for this flow rate. b) Also estimate the flow of this channel when the water level is just at the top of the main channel.
