Monitoring and Evaluation
According to the Global Water Partnership, a strong monitoring and evaluation system has the potential to ensure that an IWRM strategy meets its main objective of fostering positive change, and also that the strategy can adapt to evolving needs and conditions. Resources available in this sub-theme include examples of performance indicators, technical methods of hydraulic monitoring, handbooks for appraisal of management systems, and other resources that support the wide variety of approaches for monitoring and evaluating water resources.

Recalibration of Small Cutthroat Flumes for Use in Pakistan: Special Technical Report
Published:
January 1, 1979U.S. Agency for International Development, Colorado State University
THE MASTER PLANNING DIVISION OF THE WATER AND POWER DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY (WAPDA), GOVERNMENT OF PAKISTAN, HAS BEEN CONDUCTING WATERCOURS SURVEYS THROUGHOUT PAKISTAN IN THE LAST FEW YEARS. A BASIC DATA COMPONENT OF THIS SAMPLE SURVEY IS THE USE OF CUTTHROAT FLUMES FOR MEASURING FLOWS AND WATER...Read more

Pakistan, South East AsiaWidth Constrictions in Open Channels
Published:
November 1, 1972U.S. Agency for International Development, Colorado State University
The purpose of this study is to compare the existing methods of calculating the backwater due to, or discharge through, a constriction in an open channel, and to show how these methods are but particular expressions of a more general submerged flow equation. An extensive literature review has been...Read more
Installation and Field Use of Cutthroat Flumes for Water Measurement
Published:
March 1, 1972U.S. Agency for International Development, Colorado State University
The cutthroat flume has been developed for operation under both free flow and submerged flow conditions. The flume has a flat bottom and vertical walls. Its most obvious advantage is economy, since fabrication is facilitated by the flat bottom and removal of the throat section. Also, any particular...Read more
Cutthroat Flume Discharge Relations
Published:
March 1, 1972U.S. Agency for International Development, Colorado State University
The purpose of this study is to rate a group of cutthroat flumes which have the same geometric shape. Because of geometric similarity, the behavior of all flumes which are dimensionally similar to those tested should be capable of being predicted within a degree of accuracy suited for field use...Read more
Culverts as Flow Measuring Devices
Published:
February 1, 1972U.S. Agency for International Development, Colorado State University
Culverts are encountered throughout irrigation systems. Many of these culverts operate under free surface flow conditions. Usually, the flow depths in the culvert are governed by downstream flow conditions. This particular flow condition can be described as free surface outlet control. Only an...Read more
