The peak and average flowrates for a velocity controlled grit chamber are 1.321 and 0.44 m3/s, respectively. Detention time is 1 min. and maximum velocity through the channel is 0.34 m/s. If channel width is 1.83 m, calculate the water depth in the channel, and design proportional weir the procedure given in bar rack design. The weir crest is 15 cm above the channel floor.
