Hi I have a question. I appreciate it if someone can respond to me.
I was wondering why sometimes different kinds of gates( I mean overflow and underflow gates) is being used in the same check structures (in irrigation canal). I have seen many checks with five gates with 2 under flow gates on side and 3 overflow in middle. what is the purpose of such a design? Furthermore In time of operation do all gates open together or not?
Thanks for your time,
M
