A rectangular lined canal is to irrigate three separate parcels of 50 hectares, 30 hectares, and 20 hectares rice fields. If one rectangular weir (with no end contraction) of 0.30m crest is to be used to control the flow of each parcel, what should be the depth of the water over the crest of each of the weirs in order to supply 1 liter per second to each hectare to be irrigated? Neglect velocity of approach and use Francis Formula (for weirs with no end contraction). a). 0.26m; 0.21m; 0.17m Solution: b). 0.20m; 0.14m; 0.11m c). 0.35m; 0.28m; 0.21m d). 0.18m; 0.15m; 0.11m

Question
A rectangular lined canal is to irrigate three separate parcels of 50 hectares, 30 hectares, and 20 hectares
rice fields. If one rectangular weir (with no end contraction) of 0.30m crest is to be used to control the
flow of each parcel, what should be the depth of the water over the crest of each of the weirs in order to
supply 1 liter per second to each hectare to be irrigated? Neglect velocity of approach and use Francis
Formula (for weirs with no end contraction).
a). 0.26m; 0.21m; 0.17m
Solution:
b). 0.20m; 0.14m; 0.11m
c). 0.35m; 0.28m; 0.21m
d). 0.18m; 0.15m; 0.11m
