Overestimated discharge may cause failure to the
structure and if the discharge is underestimated, it may
not fulfill the design requirements. The studies are
experimented from maximum flow to minimum flow by
measuring head over the weir for different working
sections.
1. Introduction
In the fields of Hydraulics, Environment, Irrigation and
Chemical engineering, Notches are most widely used as
flow measuring/flow control devices. Conventional
rectangular, triangular and trapezoidal notches are among
the oldest notches. In particular, triangular notches are
very accurate to measure low flow discharges in
laboratories. Rectangular notches and Triangular notches
are often used in water supply, wastewater and sewage
systems. They consist of a sharp edged plate with a
rectangular, triangular or v-notch profile for the water
flow. There are many uses of notches, Mill ponds are
