Design of channel section for minimum water loss using Lagrange optimization and artificial neural networks

Evaporation and seepage are the most important forms of water loss in an open channel. Evaporation loss depends on the area of free surface while, seepage loss is function of channel geometry. The design that achieves minimum water loss is determined for trapezoidal and rectangular cross sections us...
