New formulas for river and canal discharge, built to improve accuracy in weirs and sluices.
This practical reference presents derived methods to compute discharge through rivers and canals obstructed by weirs, sluices, and similar structures, based on established hydraulic principles.
This edition emphasizes usable results over heavy math, with clearly labeled definitions, step‑by‑step derivations, and ready reference tabulations. It is designed for engineers and practitioners working on water power, irrigation, and flood control, offering new formulae and empirical coefficients to replace older methods.
- Derivations for complete overfall weirs, including normal and oblique orientations
- New approaches for incomplete overfalls and submerged weirs
- Discharge through sluice weirs and gates, with practical problem solving
Ideal for readers involved in hydraulic design and analysis who need reliable discharge calculations and practical guidance for obstructed-flow scenarios.
