dc.description.abstract	During heavy rains, open channels are prone to being overrun with storm water. Since the velocity of a flowing fluid increases with depth, sudden overflows may cause velocities to exceed certain limits. This damages the channel by scouring. On the other hand, siltation of suspended matter occurs in sluggish flow. Channel dimensions and	en_US
