As for the Re,


From the above equation for Area, I got 13.56 m^2.


With flow 30, V=2.21 m/s


Re=DV/v


I haven't seen a Reynolds problem for open channel trapezoidal flow.  Do you use the depth from above for the flow diameter, d=1.3m.  That is what I would assume given no other info.  You also didn't give the water temp for viscosity, so I'll assume its 50 deg and therefore v=.0000141.  Plugging in those numbers I get and Re of 2X10^5.
