Streamflow, or channel runoff, is the flow of water in streams and other channels, and is a major element of the water cycle. It is one runoff component...

flow differs from open channel flow only in the fact that in closed channel flow there is a closing top width while open channels have one side exposed...

Open channel spillways are dam spillways that utilize the principles of open-channel flow to convey impounded water in order to prevent dam failure. They...
