A canal is to be excavated through alluvial terrain with a d75 grain size of 2 cm. The natural slope of the terrain is 0.00025 m/m and the angle of repose of the material is estimated to be 32°. Using the maximum tractive force method, determine the minimum channel width and appropriate side slopes to carry a design discharge of 50
 /s with a design depth of no more than 2 m. The canal will be slightly Sinuous.
