Equation 1

DEPTH AND BED SLOPE OF TRENCH WEIR

A=B*d
d= average depth of flow in trench weir

Equation 2
Equation 3

V= (2*g*hs)1/2
hs=n' *A
hs is velocity head at end of trench weir
(n'+1)*2*B
n' is constant on bottom profile of channel
Equation 4
Q=A*V
Solving equation 1, 2, 3 & $ we get Equation 5 as
d= [ Q/ B*(n'*g/(n'+1))1/2]2/3

DISCHARGE CARRYING CAPACITY OF TRENCH WEIR
Using manning's formula
Q=(1/n)*R2/3*S1/2
n is Manning Coefficient
No Clogging condition
Average cross sectional area
A= B*D
Average Perimeter P=B+2*d
Hydraulic mean radius
R= A/P
Velocity of flow=R2/3 *S1/2/n
Discharge carrying capacity Q=A*V
Clogging Conditions=0.5
Average cross sectional area
A= B*D*0.5
Average Perimeter P=B+d
Hydraulic mean radius
R= A/P
Velocity of flow=R2/3 *S1/2/n
Discharge carrying capacity Q=A*V
UPSTREAM AND DOWNSTREAM PROTECTIONS
Maximum Flood discharge Qmax= C*A3/4
C a constant for hills
A is chachment area in sq Km
Maximum Flood discharge Qmax= C*A3/4
Depth of flow H at maximum flood discharge can be ascertained by:Qmax= 1.71*L*H3/2
Depth of flow H at maximum flood discharge is

Deepest foundation level of U/S cuttoff wall shall be taken to a depth such
that the cut off wall has at least 0.5 m of Ds as grip length i.e Ds+0.5
As such the foundation of U/s Cutt off wall shall be taken to a RL of HFL8.26m. Rounded off due to practical purpose
Deepest foundation level of D/S cuttoff wall shall be taken to a depth such
that the cut off wall has at least 1.5 m of Ds as grip length i.e Ds+1.5
As such the foundation of D/s Cutt off wall shall be taken to a RL of HFL9.26m. Rounded off due to practical purpose
