Question

The maximum permissible velocity of water in the clayey Channels is

• A. 0.45 $\text{m.s}^{-1}$
• B. 0.60 $\text{m.s}^{-1}$
• C. 0.70 $\text{m.s}^{-1}$
• D. 0.65 $\text{m.s}^{-1}$

Hint:

Cohesive soils (clays) can withstand higher water velocities than non-cohesive soils (sands).
- Sandy channels: Max velocity \( \approx 0.45 \text{ m/s} \).
- Clayey channels: Max velocity \( \approx 0.70 \text{ m/s} \).

Answer 1
