Between 1957 and 1962 series of tests were performed by Bureau of Reclamation to determine hydraulic performance of nine large concrete-lined irrigation canals located in western United States; water surface profiles were obtained in some 170 mi of subcritical flow trapezoidal shaped canals having flows that varied from 555 to 6820 cfs; instruments and techniques developed to measure small changes in water surface elevations are described; results of backwater curves computed to match measured water surface profiles in sinuous reaches and reaches with piers are described.
