The hydraulic radius of the channel,
R =\(\frac{A}{P}\)
Where,
A is a wetted area,
P is a wetted perimeter.
Calculation:
Given,
Width of channel = 3 m
Depth of channel = 1.2 m
Bed Slope = 0.0025
Wetted area A = 3 x 1.2 = 3.6 m2
Wetted perimeter = 3+1.2+1.2 = 5.4 m
So, Hydraulic radius R = \(\frac{3.6}{5.4}\)= 0.667 m
