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.

1. Measurements in a trapezoidal channel yield a flow rate of 100 m³/s, a flow depth of 3 m, a bottom width of 3 m, side slopes of 3:1 (H:V), and a longitudinal slope of 0.5%. The channel is observed to be lined with gravel-sized stones that are estimated to have a specific weight of 25 900 N/m³ and an angle of repose of 37°. (a) Calculate the median size of the stones on the perimeter of the channel. (b) Using the calculated stone size, determine whether you expect the channel to be stable in its current configuration. Assume a safety factor of 1, and neglect the effect of the longitudinal slope on the permissible shear stress. [For water, take 7 = 9789 N/m³, v = 1.00 x 10-6 m²/s]
