Question

A stream has the following cross-sectional data:
Station Distance up the
Stream
Elevation of the
Stream Bed (m) Cross-section
1 50 m 100 Trapezoid, B = 15 m, m = 1.50
2 52 m 101 Trapezoid, B = 14 m, m = 1.50
3 54 m 102 Trapezoid, B = 14 m, m = 1.25
4 56 m 103 Trapezoid, B = 13 m, m = 1.25
For a discharge of 150 m3
/s, the depth of flow at downstream Section 1 is 5.10 m. Assume n =
0.025. Using the standard-step method, compute the water-surface elevations at Sections 2, 3
and 4. (Assume gradual transition).
