A drainage requirement of 17.0 m³/s was determined for an area. The channel is to be excavated in a soil with n=0.025 and allowable velocity = 1.1 m/s over a bottom slope of 0.0005. Soil analysis showed that the 75 percentile is 40 mm and the angle of repose is 35 degrees. Produce two design sketches from the two suitable design methods for earthen canals. Include Freeboard in the design. Which design is more appropriate? Why? use side slope of 1.5 and b/d = 4 whenever applicable.
