I To get the discharge from an ordl- I nary distribution gate It is a good plan g to build a small weir bolow the gate 2 and mmsuro the discharge for the dlf- 1 , feront gate-oponlngs. thus preparing a g rating table for each gate. But for a n fair result the following solution may W be made Bj Let b be width of gate opening; lot B d be length of same; let h be head on K middle of opening. Then closely for j? small openings with b. d and h mean- p ured In feet, g equals I.S multiplied by j the breadth multiplied by depth multi- plied by the square rod of head on mid- I die of opening.
