Long-Crested Weir Design for Canal Water Level Control

Long-crested weirs are the oldest “modern” structure for good upstream water level control. New long-crested weirs are commonly constructed in irrigation project modernization schemes where designers, managers, and operators want very simple and robust water level control. Long-crested weirs are not to be confused with sharp-crested rectangular weirs or broad-crested weirs – both of which are used for flow measurement rather than for water level control.
