A B C D E F G 1: Summary of Options Choice 1 Choice 2 Choice 3

This document calculates the size of an approach channel for three different options of a Parshall flume. It analyzes flow rates, velocities, widths, depths, and dimensions. Option 1 has a very narrow width and deep channel that would be difficult to maintain. Option 2 provides an almost square section and less width for easier maintenance. Between Options 2 and 3, both can be used, but Option 2 is preferred.

20 It may be seen that the velocities at low flow are met adequately in all three chosen widths. However, the ease of O&M has
21 also to be considered. Choice 1 gives a very narrow width and very deep channel. This will be difficult to maintain. Between choice 2
