Labyrinth Weirs Boost Water Discharge by Over 60% Compared to Ogee Weirs
The researchers conducted experiments in a lab to compare the efficiency of simple weirs and labyrinth weirs in controlling water flow. They found that labyrinth weirs, with their folded design, can discharge over 60% more water than traditional weirs for the same amount of flow. This means that using labyrinth weirs can help manage water levels more effectively in water bodies.
