In March of 1996 a special release of water, U Canyon Dam, to create an artificial flood in the Grand Canyon. The flow was through 8 pipes each with an internal diameter of 2.5 m. Estimate the velocity through those pipes. Estimate the average velocity of the river at some point downstream of the dam, where the width of the river was 61 m and its average depth was 3 m.

Highway Drainage

Highway drainage is the process of extracting and regulating the excess surface water on the pavement by giving the desired slope. The construction of a highway drain helps to divert the water present on the surface, and sub-grade by the means of slope. Highway drainage systems are a necessary part of smooth functioning of traffic, since the highway drainage systems provide proper disposal of unwanted substances from the highways.
