A rectangular channel 2 m wide has a bottom slope of
0.01 and a roughness
coefficient of 0.017. A sluice gate 2 m wide is located in the
channel. The sluice
gate has a contraction coefficient of 0.61 and a discharge
coefficient of 0.58. The
depth of water just upstream from the gate is 2 m. The depth of
water just
downstream from the gate is 0.5 m. Determine how far upstream from
the gate
the depth of water will be within 1% of the normal depth.

Using the rational method, determine the amount of runoff that
would occur for a paved parking lot that is 100m * 50m and is
uniformly sloped from one long edge to the other long edge at a
rate of 2%. The time of concentration for this parking is 4
minutes. The five-year storm with duration of 4 minutes has an
intensity of 10 mm/hr. The runoff coefficient for this parking lot
is 0.80.آ [Q=0.166 CIA]
The runoff from part (a) is to be contained in a trapezoidal
drainage ditch with the following properties: side slope = 2m
horizontal run for every 1 m rise, width of invert = 2m,
longitudinal slope = 0.005 m/m, and Manning's number = 0.08. If the
maximum permittedآ depth of water is 100 mm, using Manning's
equation for open channel flow, determine if the ditch will be able
to accommodate the flow in part (a).
