Abstract
Baffled apron drops or chutes have been used on canal structures for many years. Their satisfactory performance has been proven by this extensive use.

In a canal structure they require no initial tailwater, although channel bed scour at the base of the chute is less extensive if the tailwater forms a pool into which the flow discharges.
