Assignment on Chapter 3

1. Design a Sarda type fall for an irrigation channel from the following data:
- Full supply discharge, Q = 50 m3/s
- Full supply level, FSL = 1203.50m (u/s); FSL = 1202.00m (d/s)
- Drop = 1.50m
- Bed level = 1201.50m (u/s); Bed level = 1200.00m (d/s)
- Bed width (both u/s and d/s) = 35.00m
- Full supply depths (D1 and D2) =2.00m
2. Design a cross regulator and the head regulator for a distributary channel taking off
from the parent channel, for the following data:
- Discharge of parent channel = 100 m3/s
- Discharge of distributary = 15 m3/s
- FSL of parent channel = 1218.10 m (u/s) and 1217.90 m (d/s)
- Bed width of parent channel = 42.00 m (u/s), and 38.00 m (d/s)
- Depth of water in parent channel = 2.50 m (at both u/s and d/s)
- FSL of distributary = 1217.10 m
- Bed width of distributary = 15.00 m
- Depth of water in distributary = 1.50 m
- Permissible exit gradient = 1/5
