This document discusses finding the maximum discharge for open channel flow in a rectangular section. It shows that the maximum discharge occurs when the cross-sectional area (A) equals two times the depth (D), and the width (B) also equals two times the depth. Taking the derivative of the wetted perimeter formula with respect to depth and setting it equal to zero is used to determine that the maximum discharge condition occurs when the cross-sectional area equals two times the square of the depth.
