There is a rectangular channel that will be excavated downstream of a dam after a stilling basin both with a width of 15 meters. The depth of the wather flow upstream of the dam is 4.27 meters and the discharge flow above the dam is 112.5 cubic meters per second. the channel wil be excavated in earth and n = .o25 and maintains a uniform flow depth under a subcritical flow regime. I need to determine 1. the bottom channel slope needed in the downstream channel and 2. the length of the stilling basin if the dissipation stucture starts at dissipated along the structure. The design should consider that the flow depth at the end of the still basin is similar to the flow depth in the channel. For a more realistic approach in the design, the head loss between the station upstream of the dam and the station at the beginning of the still basin is 10% of the velocity head observed at the beginning of the basin
