Water is flowing in a rectangular channel 12.2 m (40 ft) at a velocity of 1.0 mps (3.28 fps), and a water depth of 2.5 m (8.2 ft). What is the water depth in a gradual contraction in the channel to a width of 10.0 m (32.8 ft)? Determine the largest width in the contraction that will just cause critical depth to occur in the constriction.
