Expert Solution
Step 1: Mention the given data.

Bottom width of channel, B equals 6 space straight m

Manning's constant, n equals 0.013

Side slope, z equals 1.5

Longitudinal slope, S subscript o equals 0.0005

Discharge, Q equals 20 space bevelled straight m cubed over straight s

To find:

           (a) Normal depth

           (b) Critical depth

           (c) Flow regime based on the flow.
