A 5.0 m wide rectangular channel carries a discharge of $10 \mathrm{~m}^3 / \mathrm{s}$ at a depth of 1.5 m under uniform flow. To produce critical flow conditions without affecting the upstream conditions, the channel bottom elevation should be raised (in m ) by _________ (rounded off to 2 decimal places).

Assume that there is no loss of head at the raise, kinetic energy correction factor is 1.0 , and acceleration due to gravity is $9.81 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2$.
