01) Water is flowing in three side-by-side pipes of diameter (1.8m) each. The Manning's (n) and the bed slope of each pipe are (0.017) and (1:1000) respectively. The water depth in each pipe is (1.6 m). After the development, the discharge above is expected to increase by (25%), and the engineers have decided to replace the three pipes by a trapezoidal channel. The new channel should have (n= 0.013) with the same bed slope , B = 1.15 y, and z=1. Design the cross section of the new channel.
