Design a trapezoidal channel to pass a discharge of 10m3/s and the channel will be excavated through rock by blasting. The topography in the area is such that a bottom slope of 1 in 4000 will be suitable. Assume that n = 0.030 and select a value for the side slope, Z, as 1 horizontal to 4 verticals. Sketch the diagram for all calculated dimensions.
