A contracted measurement weir is to be installed in a 22-ft-wide channel. The depth of the weir opening is 16 in, and the bottom of the weir opening is at elevation 479 ft. The bottom of the channel is at elevation 470 ft. For proper measurement and metering, a minimum of 6 in of hydraulic head over the weir lip is required. The average flow is 6 MGD but varies from a minimum of 3 MGD to a maximum of 12 MGD.

Time and time related variables in engineering

Time is the event progression starting from past to present and then, future statistically. The time-related variable is any particular value in relation to time to assess its changes on a specified (XY) plane.
