The critical depth for a channel is given by (where q = Unit discharge (discharge per unit width) through the channel)
Work-done per kN of water Losses within the impeller
Suction lift + Loss of head in suction pipe due to friction + Delivery lift + Loss of head in delivery pipe due to friction + Velocity head in the delivery pipe
Energy per kN at outlet of impeller Energy per kN at inlet of impeller
