A trapezoidal channel is 5.0 km long with the side slopes of Z=0.5 constructed in clay soil. Up to the first 2 km, the bed-width of the channel is 4.90 m and the depth of flow is 1.05 m. Thereafter, the bed-width and the depth are 4.0 m and 0.885 m, respectively, right up to the downstream end of the channel. Estimate the total seepage loss through the channel by Moles-Worth equation.
