A trapezoidal channel (n = 0.022, m=2) with a bottom width of 5m carries a discharge of 45 m³/s at a bed slope of 0.0025. The water depth is 4.6 m immediately behind the dam. The upstream end of the profile is assumed at a depth equal to 1% lower than the normal depth. Compute the water depth at a distance of 500 m upstream of the dam site. Also identify the type of water surface profile.
