Abstract
This paper describes rather unusual discharge measurements made on the crest of the spillways of the Keokuk Dam, in Iowa. These studies were supplemented by tests made on a laboratory model, in order to determine a more accurate spillway rating than had formerly been available and in order to make possible a final and precise revision of the daily flow records of the Mississippi River at this point. Volumes of flow averaging about 4 000 sec-ft. were measured in the 30 ft. of spillway width, at heads slightly less than 11 ft.
