Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-008414
A specially constructed channel section designed to measure the flow rate of water in open channels. It creates a controlled hydraulic condition, such as a critical flow, allowing for a precise relationship between water depth and discharge. These structures are often used in hydrological studies and for irrigation management.
