If using a combination inlet for the sag, the flank grate inlets are not required except in a depressed area (See Hydaulics Manual).
2
Formulas based on weir flow. See Hydraulic Manual 5-4.2.
3
To add more than one inlet in the sag or flanks just increase the width and length values to the sum of all values.
Inlets can be different sizes. See Figure 5-11 in Hydraulics Manual for grate dimensions.

Qbp1 and Qbp2 come from the inlet spreadsheet.
