A lined irrigation canal with trapezoidal cross-section has 5 m bed width, 2.5 m depth and 1.5 H: 1V side slope. Longitudinal bed slope of the canal is 1 in 1000 and Manning's n = 0.016. What is the maximum carrying capacity of the canal? What area of land is hectares the canal can irrigate if the crop has 150 mm field irrigation requirement in a core period of 10 days?

Question
A lined irrigation canal with trapezoidal cross-section has 5 m bed width, 2.5 m depth and 1.5
H: 1V side slope. Longitudinal bed slope of the canal is 1 in 1000 and Manning's n = 0.016. What
is the maximum carrying capacity of the canal? What area of land is hectares the canal can
irrigate if the crop has 150 mm field irrigation requirement in a core period of 10 days?
