CANAL SECTION

X- Area of canal A= 152.50 Sqm

Perimeter of canal P= 41.03 m

Hydraulic radius R = A/P= 3.72 m

The velocity is given by using Manning's formula

Velocity V= 1/n R2/3S1/2

= 3.92 m/sec

Discharge Q = V/A
= 597.561 Cum/sec say 597.600 Cumecs
Hence O.K.
Critical Velocity Vc= 0.546*m*D0.64= 1.53 m/sec

critical velocity ratio= 2.56
