Read Chapter 1 & 2. Focus on drawing the Specific Energy diagram. Practice 10 problems on alternate depths. Week 2 (Uniform Flow): Jump to Manning’s formula. Memorize the values of 'n' for concrete, earth, and rubble. Solve for "most economical section" (triangular vs. trapezoidal). Week 3 (Jump & GVF): This is the hardest part of the PDF. Read slowly. Memorize the 12 types of GVF profiles (e.g., M1, M2, M3). Do not move on until you can sketch the water surface slope. Week 4 (Numerical Methods): Focus on the Direct Step method. Use the tables provided in Das’s appendix to solve GVF problems numerically.
