What is Manning's Equation & limitations of Manning's Equation?

Manning's equation is an empirical equation that applies to uniform flow in open channels and is a function of the channel velocity, flow area and channel slope. Under the assumption of uniform flow conditions, the bottom slope is the same as the slope of the energy grade line and the water surface slope.
Some limitations of Manning's Equation include the assumption of steady flow, uniform flow conditions, and the need for accurate estimation of the roughness coefficient. It may not be suitable for complex flow systems with non-uniform flow conditions.

What does a greater Hydraulic Radius indicate & where it is used?

The Hydraulic Radius indicates a channel's flow efficiency. The greater the hydraulic radius, the channel the more volume it can carry.
The hydraulic radius is one of the main properties that control the amount of fluid discharge of a channel and its ability to move sediments. A high hydraulic radius value indicates that the channel contains a lower volume of contact fluid and a greater cross-sectional area.
