Option 1 : For having a constant head-discharge relation independent of time

Explanation:

Submerged weir:

  • When the water level on the downstream side of a weir is above the crest of the weir, then the weir is called to be a submerged or downed weir.
  • The total discharge, over the weir, is obtained by dividing the weir into two parts.
  • The portion between upstream and downstream water surface may be treated as a free weir and the portion between downstream water surface and crest of the weir as a drowned weir.

  • The thin jet of water passing through the weir opening is called the nappe.
  • There should always be air under the nappe of a sharp-crested weir otherwise negative pressure will be created which may damage the weir structure on the downstream side.
  • An arrangement for aeration under the nappe is necessary when the weir used is suppressed rectangular weir. This may require the installation of an air vent pipe through the sidewall of the channel to provide air under the nappe. If the nappe is not aerated, the weir will deliver more flow than that actual flow.
  • Therefore, in order to maintain constant discharge, aeration is a must.

In making decisions about important questions, it is desirable to be able to distinguish between ‘strong’ arguments and ‘weak’ arguments. ‘Strong’ arguments are those, which are both important and directly related to the question. ‘Weak’ arguments are those, which are of minor importance and also may not be directly related to the question or may be related to a trivial aspect of the question. The question below is followed by two arguments numbered I and II. You have to decide which of the arguments is a ‘strong’ argument and which is a ‘weak’ argument.
