A flood occurs in a main channel having a trapezoidal section with a base width of 6.7 m. If the channel is designed to carry a mean velocity of 3.2 m/s. compute the discharge capacity of the canal in m3/s when one side of the canal is vertical and the other sloping at an angle of 45 degrees. The depth is 0.5 of the base width.

A uniform flow occurs in a 4.3m diameter circular concrete culvert, but the depth changes depending on the weather (due to storms). The Manning coefficient is n = 0.014, and the channel slope is So = 0.0004. What is the discharge in m3/s when the depth of flow is 3.3m?
A flood occurs in a main channel having a trapezoidal section ( SS on both sides : 2H to 1V) and base width 12 m.
