Determine the percentage increase in the discharge

Reference no: EM13555147

As part of a drainage improvement project, a drainage ditch will be straightened and cleaned. As a result, the lenght of the ditch will decrease from 1800 ft to 1400 ft and the mannings roughness factor will be reduced to 0.018 from 0.022. Determine the percentage increase in the discharge the ditch can accomodate at the same normal depth.
