Assume that stations B through L in Problem have all become 0.2 ft deeper. In addition, a tributary has joined the stream and added approximately 500 cfs to the flow in the channel. Calculate the new discharge amounts for each station by altering the depths and adding the tributary’s contribution across the channel in proportion to the modified discharge distribution. Assume velocity distribution remains unchanged.
Problem
Given the stream section shown in Figure and the following measurements, calculate the total discharge throughout the section (Table).
Figure
Divided stream section.
