Q.
Among weirs used in open flow metrology, critical depth of the flow is the relevant criterion in:

Cippoletti weir
Parabolic weir
- Sharp-crested weir
Q. A Cipolletti weir discharges water with the head of water over the crest being 250 mm. If the head due to velocity of approach is 0.01 m, What will be the excess percentage of flow, when corrected for velocity of approach as compared to when not so corrected?
