If the most efficient of all cross sections can be used, what shape and size of open channel would you recommend to carry 300 cfs with a velocity of 7 ft per second? Draw a representative figure for each part of your solution. For this problem, study the 4 possible cross sections and defend your final recommendation. Assume logical frictional/roughness parameters depending on the equation you choose to use. Your final output  must be a construction drawing of your recommended cross section.
