A gauging station has a measured depth of 1.35 m in a triangular section. What is the distance and direction (upstream or downstream of the gauging station) to a second section with a measured depth of 0.84 m? Assume the channel has a longitudinal slope of 0.0001 m/m, a side slope of 2, a roughness of 0.015, and a discharge of 12 cms.

Select one:

a. 81.2 m upstream of gauging station

b. 34.9 m downstream of gauging station

c. 46.3 m upstream of gauging station

d. 81.2 m downstream of gauging station
