PART C IV. a) Design a suitable cross drainage work for the following hydraulic particulars : Discharge of the canal = 28 cumecs Bed width of the canal = 20 m Depth of water in the canal = 1.6 m Bed level of the canal = 250.00 m High flood discharge of the drainage = 400 cumecs High flood level of the drainage = 251.00 m Bed level of the drainage = 248.00 m General ground level = 250.00 m Draw to a suitable scale i) Half plan at top and half plan at foundation level. ii) Longitudinal section along drain. iii) Longitudinal section along canal. OR IV. a) Design a 1.2 m Sarada type fall for a canal having a discharge of 13 cumecs with the following data : Bed level at upstream = 104.00 m Bed level downstream = 102.8 m Full supply level upstream = 105.6 m Bed width u/s and d/s = 1.2 m = 15 Impervious floor design is to be carried out as per Khoslas theory. Draw to a suitable scale i) Half plan at top and half at foundation level. ii) Section through the centre line of the canal. iii) Elevation of the fall from d/s. Safe exit gradiant for Khoslas theory
