An existing channel is to be enlarged to increase its capacity. The enlarged channel cross-section is shown in Fig. below. The existing channel is of concrete construction with a Manning's (n= 0.012), and it carries a maximum discharge of (3 m³/s). The new channel will also be constructed with concrete lining with a Manning's (n = 0.012). If the total discharge after enlargement is (9 m/s), find the normal depth in the channel. 1.2 m Ealarged Channel 1.2 m Existing Channel
