  • The drop varied from 0.6 to 2.5 m.
  • When the discharge of a canal is less than 14 m3/s, the section of the body wall is kept rectangular.
  • When the discharge of a canal is more than 14 m3/s, the section of the body wall is kept trapezoidal with upstream batter 1 : 3 and downstream batter 1 : 8.
