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.

(b) Water is flowing uniformly with flow rate 18.6 m3/s and water depth 1.2 m in a rectangular open channel of width 8 m. A temporary short span bridge is proposed to be constructed across the channel in which bridge embankment is needed at both sides of the channel causing the channel to be constricted under the proposed bridge. (i) Calculate the maximum channel width under the proposed bridge that will not cause backwater upstream.
