Abstract
The proper maintenance of canals infested with aquatic weeds presents serious problems when atte mpting to achieve design flow in waterways through the flat, fertile lands of the southeastern United States. Floating waterweeds raise the coefficient of roughness, n, to more than twice the clean-channel value, based on equal cross-sectional areas and channel geometry. Submersed weeds, such as southern naiad, can raise infested, as compared to clean, values almost twentyfold.
