A flocculation basin is designed to treat a flow of 19000 m3/d. The flocculation basin has three stages. Each stage has 10-min detention time. The basin dimensions are 12 m perpendicular to flow direction, and three times the basin depth along the flow direction. Calculate: a) The total length of the basin, m b) Volume of each stage, m3.

You must determine the normal depth for a flow in a rectangular canal. Presume flow to be uniform, the base of the canal to be 8m wide and the slope to be critical. The flow is 10 m3/s and the Manning coefficient is 0.012.
Uniform flow occurs in a 12-m-wide rectangular channel with a discharge of 100 m3/sec. If the normal depth of the flow is 3 m, what will be the new normal depth when the width of the channel contracts to 8 m? Neglect losses. Check your solution
An rectangular orifice with height 0.4 m and width of 0.6 m was used to measure the flow of a certain channel. Flow was controlled such that the entirety of the discharge will be focused and exit on the orifice. Upon stabilization of conditions, it was observed that the height of the water above the orifice can be taken as 1.2 meters and for a certain section upstream before the orifice, velocity can be considered constant at 1.7 meters per sec-ond. Assume your own water temperature and compute for the stream discharge considering a discharge velocity of 0.6812. Please answer this with complete solutions inlcuding complete figures. Thanks
