rapezoidal irrigation canal has a bottom width of 2m and a flow depth of 0.9m. The sides have a ratio of 3 horizontal to 2 vertical. The channel bed has a slope of 0.001. If the Manning's Roughness Coefficient is 0.025, calculate the volumetric flowrate through the open channel. If the canal will serve a clay-loam rice land that demands 3L/s for every hectare, what is the total land area that can be supplied by the canal.
