If the depth of a river increases by 2 m and the width remains constant, how does this affect the volume of water in a section of the river that is 100 m long? (2022)
200 m³
100 m³
300 m³
400 m³
Volume = Width x Depth x Length. Increase in volume = Width x 2 m x 100 m. Assuming width = 1 m, Volume = 1 m x 2 m x 100 m = 200 m³.
