A lined canal (n = 0.016) is designed to carry a flow rate of 33 m3/s. The canal is laid at a slope of 14 cm/km with a side slope of 2:1. Design the canal cross section (the water depth and bed width) according to each of the following scenario:
If Velocity is 1.0 m/s
If the Most efficient hydraulic section (i.e., when Rh=y/2)
If Width/depth =5
Comment on the practicality of the designs (Height of side slope, flow
velocity, variability of depth under reduced flows, land area for the canal).
