A weir has been constructed across a concrete-lined channel with a rectangular cross-section (base width, b=4m). The weir was designed to have a height of 1m. The channel has a designdischarge of 2m 3 /s. a) determine the velocity of the flow above the weir. b) determine the depth of thechannel before the weir was installed, c) determine the downstream water depth immediately followingthe weir.

What is the discharge over a cipolletti weir of length 3m when head over the weir is 1 m (Cd = 0.62) ? (a) 3.66 m³/sec (c) 5.49 m³/sec (b) 4.23 m³/sec (d) 6.91 m³/sec
A rectangular weir is designed to span the full width of a rectangular channel with B=L=2.5 m, (where B and L are the channel width and the weir width respectively) to pass a flow rate of 0.405 m³/sec and to maintain an upstream flow depth in the channel equals 0.815 m. Assume C₁ = 0.625 which is valid for <5.0, where h is the flow depth over the crest of the weir and w is the weir height. The weir height is in the range of O (0.65 -0.675) m O (0.60 -0.625) m O (0.675 -0.70) m O (0.625 -0.65) m
