A trapezoidal channel 6.3 m wide and 1.1 m water depth has a bed slope of 1 in 900 and side slope of 55°. Determine the discharge when Manning's n=0.012. If it is desired to increase the discharge to a maximum by changing the size of the channel but keeping the same quantity of lining (the same wetted perimeter). Determine the new dimensions and percentage increase in discharge and draw the specific energy diagram for the flow condition
