Abstract
Normal depth is a key parameter occurring in open-channel hydraulics. For all practical canal sections, open-channel resistance equation involves implicit form for normal depth. Therefore, the determination of the normal depth involves the tedious method of trial and error. Presented in this paper is the good approximate explicit equation for normal depth in parabolic open-channel sections.
