How do I estimate the height of water in an open channel?
How do I estimate the height of water in an open channel?
(OP)
Currently I am designing a open flow channel flowing through a screen which is installed at an angle of 70 degrees in the open channel. I have my discharge rate, and the width of the channel. Is there any possible ways that I can estimate the height/depth of the water without knowing the velocity?

(1/C)((VV-vv)/2g)
where C= headloss coefficient for clean screen = 0.7
V= velocity through clean screen in m/s
v= approach velocity through clean screen in m/s
C= headloss coefficient for clogged screen = 0.6
Assume that a clogged screen has 50% blockage or twice the velocity.
