Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Calculate the flow rate of a rectangular channel with a width of 5m, depth of 2m, with a Manning's n of 0.015 and slope of 0.01.

💡 Hint: Apply the formula Q = (1/n) * A * R^{2/3} * S^{1/2} and remember to calculate area and hydraulic radius.

Question 2

Discuss how you would measure the impact of rapidly varied flow on nearby ecosystems.

💡 Hint: Consider the immediate vs. long-term effects of flow changes.
