Irrigation Water Conveyance and Application Methods

Subtopic: Design of irrigation channels and underground pipelines

Question Statement:

Using Kennedy's critical velocity formula $v_0 = 0.55 m y^{0.64}$, calculate the critical non-silting, non-scouring velocity in $\text{m/s}$ for a canal with water depth $y = 1.0\text{ m}$ and critical velocity ratio $m = 1.0$.

Answer Key:

0.55

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

$v_0 = 0.55 \times 1.0 \times (1.0)^{0.64} = 0.55\text{ m/s}$
