Abstract
A canal may be said to possess an adverse slope, if its bottom rises in the direction of the flow. When, as in the usual case, the bottom falls in the direction of flow, a channel may be said to possess a sustaining slope. An example of a layout with an adverse slope is a canal connecting a tidal basin, or an area to be drained, with the sea. Another case is the approach to a low spillway with a bed gently sloping over a considerable length. Although cases of this kind occur rather infrequently, there are instances in which a knowledge of the flow and methods of numerical computations is essential.
