The hydraulic consultant for a municipality needs to develop plans for a rectangular channel with a 1 foot freeboard to provide water to the residents of the city. a) Determine the dimensions of the most efficient concrete channel section if the municipality's daily demand is 210 gallons per person and the channel loses 12% of its water to natural processes. The required water velocity in the channel is 7 feet per second. Find the channel width (ft), channel depth (ft), and channel bottom slope for the municipality that serves 1,500,000 people. b) Based on the channel design and requirements specified above, classify the flow in the channel. Justify your answer.

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. Cite any references used.
How can I calculate the water level in a grit chamber at average flow and at peak hourly flow. The effluent from the tank flows over a fiberglass, sharp-crested weir that is set at elevation 136.00 ft above sea level (ASL). The average daily flow rate is 2.6 MGD. Assume that all flow must pass through one grit chamber. The dimensions of the grit chamber are 9 ft wide, 30 ft long, and 10.5 ft deep (water depth). The weir extends across the full width of the chamber and find the hydraulic retention time of the grit chamber. HRT at average flow = ______ minutesand HRT at peak hourly flow = ______ minutes
