For those who will take the WR/Envi depth, there are approx. 6 questions (15% in PM session) related to open channel flow. I bet at least one question is on Manning formula; but they don't give you a simple or straightforward question. Try this: A trapezoid cross section channel with bottom...

What you guys in California should do is to band together and have a serious talk with the Board's boss who are Arnold and the state senators and state representatives. They should have power to make the Board quicker in this exam result announcement. Briane: I passed the PE exam (TX) and I...
