Narrative:
On approach we got a hydr qty low alert. After going around; we continued to run the applicable checklist. We raised the emergency gear lever leaving the gear doors open after the gear extended. The aircraft landed and stopped straight ahead. No turns were made. We remained on the runway for approximately 45 minutes. Maintenance arrived and towed the aircraft to the gate where the passengers deplaned. There were no reports of any injuries and I'm not aware of any damage to the aircraft. Maintenance indicated leaking hydraulic fluid and possible broken hydraulic line.
