STREAMFLOW MEASUREMENT
Weirs allow hydrologists and engineers a simple method of measuring the volumetric flow rate in
small to medium-sized streams/rivers or in industrial discharge locations. Since the geometry of the
top of the weir is known and all water flows over the weir, the depth of water behind the weir can be
converted to a rate of flow. However, this can only be achieved where all water flows over the top of
the weir crest (as opposed to around the sides or through conduits/sluices) and at locations where
the water that flows over the crest is carried away from the structure. If these conditions are not met,
it can make flow measurement complicated, inaccurate or even impossible.
Based on these scenarios, you and group’s member need to develop flow rating curve and also flow
rate coefficient, Cd by using compound weir (mixed shape weir).
