4. A long rectangular open channel that carries 10 m³/s consists of three segments: AB, BC and CD. The bottom widths of the three segments are 3 m, 4 m, and 5 m, respectively. Plot how the 'flow depth' varies with the 'specific energy' (d vs Es) for this channel system (not to scale). Present all three charts in one plot and clearly name the curves and the axes (with units).
