QUESTION 2 2.1 Derive the energy equation for open channel flow from first principles. Make use of a definition sketch to support (10) your answer. A proposed sharp-crested weir is to be constructed in a river with a trapezoidal cross-section. The weir will act as the control in the river system. The 1:100 flood is estimated at 550 m/s. At 3 km upstream of the weir, a farmer abstract water by means of a fixed pump station at a reduced height 0.5 m above the normal depth of flow. Determine what the influence of the weir will be on the water level 3 km upstream and whether the pump station will be in danger submerged. Make use of the standard step method with 5-intervals (600 m each). Why is the weir the control-point in the system? Name the water profile.
