Water flows from a reservoir to a channel over a rectangular weir with a head to width ratio of 1:3. The weir height is twice the head of water. The water from the channel flows over a 60° triangular weir (C=0.62) to another reservoir. The discharge across both weirs is the same. If the flow of the first reservoir is 16 m3/s, determine the height of the weir on the first reservoir. #hydraulics
