Abstract
The Bureau of Reclamation's Water Resources Research Laboratory conducted a 1:30-scale model study of a proposed side-weir diversion from San Sevaine Creek in San Bernardino County, California. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the performance of the 1.83-m-high, 853-m-long side-weir design under the supercritical flow conditions expected in the prototype. Model testing determined that the original design was more efficient than anticipated and could be shortened to 743.71 m and still meet the diversion goals. Chamfering the top of the side weir further increased its efficiency, allowing an additional reduction in length to 713.23 m.
