Question
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 design
discharge of 2m 3 /s. a) determine the velocity of the flow above the weir. b) determine the depth of the
channel before the weir was installed, c) determine the downstream water depth immediately following
the weir.
