The Mathematics of Water Flow in Channels
In this resource students are asked to play the role of a newly qualified engineering graduate that has taken a year out to work for an overseas aid agency in a developing country.
The civil engineering project you are working on aims to provide water to a number of rural villages where clean water for drinking and agricultural purposes is lacking. The task is to ensure that the new open water channels will have adequate capacity to carry the required flow of water over the land.
The detailed resource notes include introductory materials, background theory, questions and information for teachers.
