- You were assigned to describe the pore water pressure in Figure 1. It shows the cross-sectionof a homogenous compacted earth dam highlighting the flow behavior. Excessive rainfall hassaturated the embankment. Given the three points A, B and C. A. Which of the points will have the highest positive pore water pressure?B. Which of the points will have the lowest positive pore water pressure?arrow_forwardA triangular threshold is used to control the water depth which tends to be constant upstream of an open channel. Water flows on a V-notch weir with = 90^o and the magnitude of gravity is 9.81 m/s^2. What is the water discharge upstream of the threshold when conditions are normal with a water level of 0.24 m and during a flood with a water level of 1 m?arrow_forwardA rectangular channel is 4.0 m wide and 7.0 m deep, but it is filled with water up to only 6.0 m from the bottom.
