Hydrometric determinations — Flow measurements in open channels using structures — Use of vertical underflow gates

This International Standard specifies methods for the determination of discharge in open channels in steady flow conditions using vertical underflow gates on a flat horizontal floor between vertical side walls under modular or non-modular conditions.
