Flood Control MeasuresNatural conditions vary from one river to another, but the methods that can be used to control floodsrivers are1- Cleaning the stream, raising the mut, and constantly expanding the stream to increase the oross section ofthe river. 2- Building barriers along the banks of the river to contain the water in its courses.3-Drainage and storage of flood waters,4- Shortening or shortening the course of the river by cutting the bends of the river.

Example 5.5 Find discharge in a rectangular channel having Manning's n=0.04, Sr= 0.0005, width of 5 m and depth of flow of 1.5 m.
During a flood in a catchment, when all streams are filled with water, the runoff value is ? A- at the rising limb of the hydrograph. B- at the falling limb of the hydrograph. C- at the falling limb of the hydrograph. D- at the second base flow recession part. What is the correct answer??
The surface runoff hydrograph after the base flow separation is called: * None of the these Direct Runoff Hydrograph (DRH) Base Flow (BF) Discharge (Q) Unit Hydrograph (UH) The total rainfall in a catchment of area 1200 Km2 during a 6-hr storm is 16 cm. The surface runoff is 1.2 *10^8 m3. The infiltration index is: * 1.2 cm/hr 0.1 cm/hr 1 cm/hr cannot be estimated with the given data 0.2 cm/hr
: Provide two examples of each of the non-uniform and unsteady flows in open channels.
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?

What is the discharge capacity of an irrigation channel having a total depth of 1.5 meter (including freeboard) , bottom width 1.2 m, side slope 2:1, and a hydraulic gradient of 0.001 m/m? Assume n=0.04 and freeboard to be 20% of the flow depth.
I hope your help hydraulic question thanks
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
Last time incorrect solution given,so correctly solve questions
During major flood events water flows over the top of a roadway. (a) Determine the head (H) on the broad-crested weir for a discharge rate of 15,000 cfs if the overflow section of roadway is horizontal and 500 ft long. Assume a discharge coefficient of 0.33. (b) Assume that a vehicle stalled on the roadway will be washed off the roadway into the downstream channel if the water depth exceeds 4.0 ft. Compute the water depth and velocity on the roadway. Will a stalled vehicle on the roadway remain on the road during the flood?
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. River: Q = 2 m³/s, A=1m², T = 15 degC, L = 5 mg/L, DO = DOsat Source1: Q = 0.5 m³/s, T = 25 degC, L = 100 mg/L, DO = 1 mg/L
