Canal flow computation (1)

Continuity equation: Dynamic equation: Q=A*V V = 1/n*(A*R2/3*S1/2)

Equation valid for uniform flow

Control structure in canal raises the water level on the downstream end

How do you find the water level at different points along the canal? Assume steady discharge.

Typical canal section: in filling
