   NOTCH ,WEIR AND ITS TYPES Notch A  notch  may be defined as an obstruction over which the flow of liquid occurs   In case of measuring tank or reservoir, the opening is provided at the side of the tank such that the liquid surface in the tank is below the top edge of the opening. Weir A  weir  is a notch on a large scale used for measuring the flow of a river, canal etc. It is a concrete or masonry structure of substantial breadth built across the river in the direction of flow. This allows the excess water to flow over its entire length to the downstream side. Thus a weir is similar to a small dam constructed across the river, with a difference that the excess water flows downstream only through a small portion called  spillway  and in case of weir, the excess water flows over its entire length. Nappe and crest The sheet of water flowing through a notch or over a weir is known as  nappe  or  vein . The bott...
