Andean ecosystems provide important hydrological services for downstream communities. Due to this importance, several studies have been carried out in recent years, with emphasis on processes identification and land use change impacts. In studies, but also the operation of small-scale irrigation drinking water projects, small streams equipped compound, sharp-crested weirs discharge estimation. ...

abstract bottom rack intake is one of the most appropriate structures for diverting water in steep rivers. the problems of corrosion, deformity and clogging of the bottom racks in long term, inspires a new system of bottom intake in which a filled trench of porous media is replaced by the bottom racks. diversion of a specified amount of discharge through the porous media when void space in the ...

Abstract The circular crested weir (CCW) has been introduced as weirs having a high discharge coefficient (Cd). ratio of flow head to the radius crest ( H / R ) is most important parameter affecting Cd, that $${\text{Cd}} \approx a\left( {H/R} \right)^{b}$$ Cd ? a <mml:m...
