Consider flow in a long and very wide rectangular open channel. Width of the channel can be considered as infinity compared to the depth of flow. Uniform flow depth is 1.0 m. The bed slope of the channel is 0.0001. The Manning roughness coefficient value is 0.02. Acceleration due to gravity, \( g \), can be taken as 9.81 m/s\(^2\).
The critical depth (in m) corresponding to the flow rate resulting from the above conditions is ________ (round off to one decimal place).
