If the upstream face of the spillway is kept vertical, the crest shape should also confirm to the lower nappe of an inclined sharp-crested weir. Correct Answer False

If the upstream face of the spillway is kept vertical, the crest shape confirms to the lower nappe of a vertical sharp-crested weir under the maximum head. But if u/s face is kept sloping the crest shape should also confirm to the lower nappe obtained for an inclined sharp-crested weir.

Statement (I): The ogee spillway is a control weir having an S-shaped crest profile which provides a high discharge coefficient without causing cavitations. Statement (II): The crest profile of ogee spillway conforms to the lower nappe of flow over a ventilated sharp-crested weir and ensures a constant discharge coefficient for all heads.
The discharge passing over an ogee spillway is given by (where, L is effective length of spillway crest and H is the total head over the spillway crest including velocity head.)
