Water Resources Engineering: You are given the following information for a triangular channel: Top width, B = 3 m Q = 7.23 m3/s n = 0.016 If the bed slope suddenly changes from 0.01 m/m to 0.0006 m/m, describe the phenomenon that occurs at this sudden change in slope. Determine the normal depths for the two slopes. Draw a sketch of this situation showing the change in slope and whatever change in depth occurs (if any).

Sediment transport

Sediment transport or Soil transport is the movement of solid particles, usually due to the combination of gravitational forces acting on the sediment, and the movement of the liquid at which the sediment enters. Soil erosion occurs in natural systems where the particles are sandstones (sand, rocks), mud, or clay; the liquid is air, water, or ice; and the gravitational force that works to move particles to the landing surface. Sediment transportation or soil migration due to the movement of liquids occurs in rivers, lakes, lakes, oceans, and other bodies of water as a result of currents and waves. Transportation is also caused by glaciers as they flow, and to places on earth under the influence of wind. Soil erosion due to gravity alone is possible in most sloping areas, including hills, scarves, cliffs, and the continental shelf — the continental boundary of the slope.
