How to Evaluate Critical Depth given Depth of Parabolic Channel?

Critical Depth given Depth of Parabolic Channel evaluator uses Critical Depth = (Depth/1.55) to evaluate the Critical Depth, The Critical Depth given Depth of Parabolic Channel formula is defined as the depth of flow in an open channel (in this case, a parabolic channel) where the flow velocity and depth meet a specific condition where the flow regime changes. For a parabolic channel, this is the depth at which the flow achieves critical flow conditions. Critical Depth is denoted by dc symbol.
