QUESTION 1 a) Figure Q1(a) shows the existing triangular concrete Channel 1 at Sungai Siput with the bed slope is 0.0016 and the channel has a Manning's roughness coefficient of 0.013. Due to flood risk at that area, there is a proposal to upgrade the channel to the Channel 2. Determine the flowrate in Channel 2 if the bed slope and Manning coefficient are the same with the Channel 1.

The Town of Jackson Engineering Department has an earthen dike through which a circular concrete culvert has been constructed to convey storm water from one side of the dike to the other side of the dike. The circular concrete culvert has a free outfall. The culvert is 60 feet long on a 2.00 % slope and is 30 inches in diameter. The culvert entrance will project from the embankment. Use an orifice coefficient (Co) of 0.62 for a sharp-edged entrance. Create a rating table that correlates the culvert discharge to the depth of the headwater, from 3 feet to 6 feet in 0.25 feet increments. The Engineering Department would like to know the culvert discharge rate based on the depth of the headwater so that they can conduct long-term planning (development, infrastructure improvements, open space, etc.) on the upstream and downstream sides of the dike.
