Take note: Answer and write your solution on a clean paper clearly. During a flood flow the depth of water in a 12 m wide rectangular channel was found to be 3.5 m and 3.3 m at two sections 300 m apart. The drop in the water-surface elevation was found to be 0.18 m. Assuming Manning’s coefficient to be 0.023, determine the following: a. Average value of k? b. Estimate the flood discharge through the channel ?
The following were the monthly evaporation data in cm in certain year (January- December) in the vicinity of a lake: 15.7, 14.1, 16.9, 24.0, 27.5, 21.4 15.7, 16.2, 16.2, 20.5, 15.7, 15.4 The water spread area in the lake in the beginning of January was 3.2 km² and at the end of December 2.6 km².

An aquifer slopes away from a river, as shown in Fig. 3-7 The hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer which is 20 ft thick is known to be 0.2 ft/day. The water is 20 ft deep in the river, and the bottom of the trench is 30 ft below the bottom of the river and 600 ft away from the edge of the river. The trench is 40 ft deep. Will water flow out of the trench without pumping? If so, what will be the rate of flow?
For the two-dimensional flow system shown below (units in meters):Compute the total flow rate under the Dam. X = 4, Y = 8. Note 1: Point A is located in the middle point of the equipotential lines. Point B is located in the middle point of the flow lines.Note 2: Assume e=0.8 (void ratio) and k=10^-3 cm/s (coeff. of permeability).Note 3: Datum is located at the bottom level of the water (right side of Dam).Note 4: Remember, the figure is drawn to scale. So, use the value of 2X+Y to estimate any dimension that you consider necessary.
Water is stored in the reservoir of a trapezoidal dam with a vertical upstream height of 6 meters. If the pressure is 3.14 kPa at the lowest position, determine the depth of the water. How much would the hydrostatic force change if silica contamination causes the water's specific gravity to rise? (Specific gravity of contaminated water = 1.1)
