Figure 2 shows a cross section of an improved river channel for flood protection. At what flow rate would the levees be overtopped? Assume the channel has a uniform longitudinal slope of 0.008 and that Manning's n is 0.06 and 0.04 for the overbank and the main channel, respectively. 3m4 60m 4.5m 4.5 m 60 m Figure 2 4.5 m 60 m
Select the true items related to velocity distribution of a channel. Select only the four correct answers. Avoid random selection as each incorrect selection will be penalised by imposing negative marking. 0 The lowest velocities are found just below the free surface 0 The zone of highest velocity lies near the channel bed and banks 0 Isovels are contours of equal discharge magnitude 0 The zone of lowest velocity lies near the channel bed and banks 0 Flow velocities within a stream cross-section are uniformly distributed Isovels are contours of equal velocity magnitude Flow velocities within a stream cross-section are not uniformly distributed The highest velocities are found just below the free surface

The right and left water edges of a stream are 3.0 and 32.0m, respectively, from an initial reference point. Verticals are located at distances 5.5, 8.5, 11.5, 14.5, 17.5, 20.5, 23.5, 26.5 and 29.5m from the reference point. Depths of verticals are 0.6, 1.2, 1.4, 2.4, 2.6, 2.7, 2.5, 2.0 and 0.9m. Mean velocities in the verticals are 0.2, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9, 0.9, 1.0, 1.1, 0.6 and 0.2m/s, respectively. Assuming that the discharge in the end sections of the stream to be zero, determine the discharge and the average velocity of flow of the stream.

A portion of a river is modeled with two reaches, A and B. Reach A extends from section1 to section 2 and has a length of 15000 ft, n = 0.07, S = 1 %, and Rh = 4 ft. Reach 2 extends from section 2 to section 3 and has a length of 17000 ft, n = 0.05, S = 0.5% and Rh = 5 ft. The hydrograph at Section 1 is (200, 300, 700, 600, 500, 400, 350, 300, 250, 225, 210, 205, 200), with a time increment, t of 10 min. Assume the initial discharge at downstream sections is 200. Using the Convex Routing Method, (a) route the hydrograph from section 1 to section 2 and then from section 2 to section 3.
