A housing area needs a channel to convey 9.8 m3/s of rainfall. A trapezoidal


channel is proposed with 3 width and located on the side slope of 3 (horizontal) :

A concrete lined irrigation channel with Mannings n = 0.020 is needed to convey


12.5 m3/s of water. The channel has a trapezoidal section with bottom slope So =
0.0015. Determine the effective size of the channel if the side slope is restricted to
3 (horizontal) : 1 (vertical).
