The bed width of a trapezoidal channel is 5.0 m, 5,= 0.0004, the side slope is m = 2 horizontal: 1 vertical, and the n value is 0.02: y = 3.0 m is the normal depth of flow. Calculate and plot the resulting gradually varied flow using the direct step method, when the channel flows into a pool at the downstream end and the pool elevation is 1.25 m higher than the channel bed elevation at the downstream end. Estimate the length of the gradually varied flow that the pool elevation produces.
