    The document discusses V-notch weirs and trapezoidal sharp crested weirs. V-notch weirs are used to determine discharge in open channels and are more accurate for small discharges than rectangular weirs. Trapezoidal weirs are a combination of rectangular and triangular notches. Formulas are provided to calculate discharge for V-notch, trapezoidal, and standard 90 degree V-notch weirs based on head measurement.

    V-NOTCH WEIR

    Subtitle
    V-NOTCH WEIR
    ▪ Weirs are typically installed in open channels such as streams to
    determine discharge (flowrate). The basic principle is that discharge is
    directly related to the water depth above the crotch (bottom) of the V;
    this distance is called head (H).
    ▪ V-shaped notch is a vertical thin plate which is placed perpendicular
    to the sides and bottom of a straight channel is defined as a V-
    notch sharp- crested weir. The line which bisects the angle of the
    notch should be vertical and at the same distance from both sides
    of the channel
    V-NOTCH WEIR

    ▪ V-Notch gives more accuracy when


    discharge charge is small.
    ▪ The V-Notch design causes small changes in discharge to have a large
    change in depth allowing more accurate head measurement than
    with a rectangular weir.
    V-NOTCH WEIR

    ▪ APPLICATION
    The V-Notch Weir system uses the principle of
    gravitational discharge of water over a triangular or
    rectangular notched weir plate.
    ▪ • Typical applications include:
    ▪ • Long-term monitoring of dams
    ▪ • Drainage systems in dams and tunnels
    ▪ • Springs and artesian wells

    CRESTED WEIR
    Subtitle
    TRAPEZOIDAL SHARP CRESTED WEIR
    ▪ A trapezoidal notch is a combination
    of a rectangular notch and two
    triangular notches as shown in
    figure.
    TRAPEZOIDAL SHARP CRESTED WEIR
    ▪ Hence discharge over a trapezoidal
    notch will be the sum of the
    discharge of rectangular and
    triangular notches.
    TRAPEZOIDAL WEIR

    ▪ DISCHARGE OF TRAPEZOIDAL WEIR =
