Problem 2: Bayou Flow Consider a shallow channel with nearly stagnant water flowing through a swamp. The channel has a width of 18 ft, a depth of 0.50 ft, and a cross-sectional area of 9.0 ft². Numerous plants growing through the shallow water provide a large wetted perimeter of 54 ft. If the water surface elevation drops 0.0010 ft every 10.0 miles, what is the discharge according to the Darcy- Weisbach equation?

When the spillway crest is at elevation 300.2 m, the following flood given in Table 2 was expected into the reservoir.

A stream has a uniform flow of 10 m/s. A flood in which the discharge increases linearly from 10 m³/s to a peak of 70 m'/s in 6 h and then decreases linearly to a value of 10 m/s in 24 h from the peak arrives at a reach. Route the flood through the reach in which K = 10 h and x = 0
During major flood events water flows over the top of a roadway.

The ordinates of a 6h-UH of a watershed having a drainage area of 393 km^2 are given below. For a storm over the watershed having excess rainfall of 5 cm for the first six hours and 15 cm for the second six hours, compute the direct runoff hydrograph ordinates and plot the hydrograph. Compute the depth of direct runoff in cm. Assuming constant baseflow of 100 m^3/s, compute the storm hydrograph ordinates and plot the hydrograph. (List all the DRH ordinates in order, separated by a single space.)
(a) A flood drainage channel has to be designed to carry runoff from 200 km² area. If the flow per square kilometer is 0.5 m³/s/km², determine the flood drainage channel size using (i) the permissible velocity method, and (ii) tractive force method. The material size is 2 mm and S,=0.00002. Provide sufficient justification for assumptions and/or judgement used in your procedure. State clearly the design steps used in the design process. (b) The reservoir level upstream of a 30-m-wide spillway for a flow of 800 m³/s is at El. 250 m and downstream river level channel for this design flow is at El. 150 m. If the stilling basin width is the same as that of the spillway, compute the floor level of the stilling basin so that the jump is formed in the basin.

An action will release DO and BOD to a large low velocity river at a location where the existing conditions of the river have already been determined. Assess the impacted conditions (as a result of this action) at a location 10,000 m down-river from where the action releases the pollution.

(b) Water is flowing uniformly with flow rate 18.6 m3/s and water depth 1.2 m in a rectangular open channel of width 8 m. A temporary short span bridge is proposed to be constructed across the channel in which bridge embankment is needed at both sides of the channel causing the channel to be constricted under the proposed bridge. (i) Calculate the maximum channel width under the proposed bridge that will not cause backwater upstream.
