HIGHER SURVEYING

TITLE: CAPACITY OF RESERVOIR BY CROSS-SECTIONS PROBLEM: The NAWASA Engineers conducted a hydrographic survey on one of the reservoirs in order to determine its capacity and to check out whether this reservoir is capable of serving the water needs of the adjacent municipalities. Parallel ranges were established along the reservoir and sounding was taken at certain distances as shown in the accompanying table. Section - 1 Distance from RP (m) 0 Section - 2 Distance from RP (m) 0 7.5 15.8 20.1 25.2 Section - 3 Distance from RP (m) 0 4.2 13.4 27.6 35.4 40.1 46.2 Depth of Water (m) 0 (W.E.)
