A river having a mean depth of two meters and an average velocity of 8.5 m/s has a width of 75m. It is desired to increase the water depth to a height of 9m above the bottom channel on the upstream side. Determine the height of an anicut considering the velocity of approach. Note: Anicut or raised weir is a masonry dam provided across a river for the purpose of raising the water level on the upstream side to a sufficient extent in the dry season so that water can be carried by gravitation to places which it could not reach.
