Ex. A small stream has a cross section which can be approximated by a trapezoid. The cross-sectional properties at three
sections are shown below. Section A is the downstream-most section. For a discharge of 100.0 m³/s in the stream, water surface
elevation at Section A was recorded as 104.5 m. Estimate the water-surface elevation at the upstream Section B and Section C.
