Question no 1:

A weir 8 m long is to be built across a rectangular channel to discharge a flow of 9 m3/sec. If the
maximum depth of water on the upstream side of the weir is to be 2 m. what should be the
height of the weir? Adopt Cd = 0.62

Answer:

Question no2:
The daily record of rainfall over a catchment area is 0.2 million cubic meters. It has been found
that 80% of the rainwater reaches the storage reservoir and then passes over a rectangular
weir. What should be the length of the weir, if the water is not to rise more than 400mm above
the crest? Assume suitable value of coefficient of discharge for the weir as 0.61.

Answer:
Question no 3:
A 30 meters long weir if divided into 10 equal bays by vertical posts each 0.6 meter wide. Using Francis'
formula, calculate the discharge over the weir, under an effective head of 1 meter

Answer:

Question no 4:
A reservoir has a catchment area of 25 square kilometers. The maximum rainfall over the area is 25mm
per hour, 40% of which flows to the reservoir over a weir. Using Francis' formula, find the length of the
weir. The head of water over the water should not exceed 0.8m.

Answer:
Question No 5:
Find the discharge over a rectangular weir 4.5m long under head of 600mm by using Bazin’s formula.

Answer:

Question No 6:

the weir by using i) Francis formula ii) Bazin’s formula

Answer:

Question no7:
A weir 2.0m long has 0.6m head of water over the crest. Using Francis’ formula, find the discharge over
the weir and, if the channel approaching the weir is 6m wide and 1.2m deep. Also determine the new
discharge, considering the velocity of approach.

Answer:

A rectangular channel is 1.5m deep and 6m wide. Find the discharge through channel, when it runs full.
Take slope of the bed as 1 in 900 and Chezy’s constant as 50.

Answer:
Question no 9:
Water is flowing at the rate of 16.5 m3/s in an earthen trapezoidal channel with bed width 9m, water
depth 1.2m and side slope 1:2. Calculate the bed slope, if the value of C is 49.5.

Answer:

Question No 10:
A channel has two sides vertical and semi-circular bottom of 2 meters diameter. Calculate the discharge
of water through the channel, when the depth of flow is 2m. Take C = 70 and slope of bed as 1 in 1000.

Answer:
Question no 11:
A rectangular channel 1.2m wide and 1m deep has longitudinal slope of 1 in 3000. Using Bazin’s formula,
find the discharge through the channel.

Answer:

Question No 12:
An open canal of rectangular cross-section with horizontal base and vertical sides is build through rock,
which is not lined. The canal is 6m deep and 9m wide, while the slope of bed is 1 in 1000. What will be
the discharging capacity of the canal, if N = 0.0293 in the Kutter’s formula: Where i is the slope and m is
hydraulic radius.

Answer:
Question No 13:
A cement lined rectangular channel 6m wide carries water at the rate of 30m3/s. Find the value of
Manning’s constant, if the slope required to maintain a depth of 1.5m is 1/625.

Answer:
Question No 14:
A trapezoidal channel having side slopes of 1:1 and bed slope of 1 in 1200 is required to carry a
discharge of 180m3/min. Find the dimensions of the channel for minimum cross-section. Take Chezy’s
constant as 50.
