Floods, with special reference to waste-weir capacity
For waste-weir capacity for large catchment areas, Hawksley's rule of 20 ft. of waste weir for each square mile of catchment area is ample; in small catchment areas reservoir fills quickly, and does not materially affect height of floods passing over water weir; in such cases Hawksley rule does not appear to provide sufficient margin of wasteweir length. Abstract of paper read before Instn. Civil Engrs. (see also Engineering, vol. 125, no. 3258, June 22, 1928, pp. 788-789 and (discussion) 760-761, 2 figs.; Water and Water Eng., vol. 30, no. 356, Aug 20, 1928, pp. 362- 363 and (discussion) 363-364, 2 figs.)
