The hydraulic consultant for a municipality needs to develop plans for a rectangular channel with a 1 foot freeboard to provide water to the residents of the city. a) Determine the dimensions of the most efficient concrete channel section if the municipality's daily demand is 210 gallons per person and the channel loses 12% of its water to natural processes. The required water velocity in the channel is 7 feet per second. Find the channel width (ft), channel depth (ft), and channel bottom slope for the municipality that serves 1,500,000 people. b) Based on the channel design and requirements specified above, classify the flow in the channel.

A bar screen is used to treat 10 MGD of menicipal wastewater. The vertical bars are 1.27 cm wide and 3.8 cm deep. The minimum allowable spacing for the bars is 2.4cm. The appoach channel carries the water at velocity of 0.381 m/s and is 1.07 m wide and 1.37 m deep. 1- detrmine the number of bar and spacing that should be used. 2- calculate the head loss through screen when it is clean (m). 3- it's estimated that the screen will remove 227 kg (wet basis) of screenings ber milion gallons of water treated. What will be the daily accumulation (kg and m^3) of the screening if the density of screening 100 kg/m^3.
