IN ADDITION, THE CHARACTERISTICS OF HIGH TAILWATER AND NON-SCOURING, LOW TAILWATER BASINS ARE COVERED. THE REPORT PRESENTS INFORMATION IN A USEABLE FORM. IT IS INTENDED THAT A HYDRAULIC ENGINEER CAN TAKE THE REPORT AND APPLY THE DATA TOWARD THE DESIGN OF AN ENERGY DISSIPATOR OF MAXIMUM EFFECTIVESNESS.
