A flood occurs in a main channel having a trapezoidal section ( SS on both sides : 2H to 1V) and base width 12 m. The depth of flow in this section is 3.60 m and the flood spills out over an almost horizontal plain on one side of the main channel. The width of the flood plain is 60 m with an over flow depth of 1m. If n= 0.025 for the main channel and is two times as large for the overflow section, estimate the discharge if the bed slope for both is 0.003
