You might consider additional small pipes (culverts) through the down-stream side, to drain water trapped between the two strips. Such water might not be a big problem, but the pipes are easy to install during construction, but difficult to retrofit.

I DO want water flowing over the top most of the time. The one in the first photo from Yorkshire probably doesn’t have culverts, but, anyway, I want it to look sort of like that most of the time. When water is flowing over it, I doubt it would be more than 2 or 3 inches above the concrete planks, easily navigable by motorbike or car. When I know the height at it’s highest time, I can put stepping stones down the middle, as long as a car can get over them.

If you do not want water flowing over the top, your culverts must be able to accept the maximum flow during the wet season.

I don’t see why I’d need another weir. The ford is just a weir that starts with an “F.” Two weirs don’t make a right, do they? Anyway, I doubt I’ll get that far by the time you come to visit, so don’t worry too much. I shall, however, probably post a design I’m considering. I wish I’d thought more about it when I was last there, then I could have done more measuring. Even if I never make money there, I’ll be eternally happy just measuring things. . .

Hi Richard, I get it now. Where I come from (Yorkshire) we call them Fords.

As to your question, if I have got the question right. Put in another wier up sream of your Ford, Irish Bridge whatever, that’s what the diagram is saying to me. Does this make sense?

That is very much true. But I’d like to make it a little better for them, and keep them away from the weir. I could easily put in a couple of culverts to make the passing generally dry except for times of heavier flow. Plus I’d like to raise the water level, even just a little bit, upstream. If the situation is now clear, the question is “How do I do it?”

If you can set your penstock elevation lower than any board they are likely to remove, then it will not matter if they remove board(s) and your loss of head pressure will be insignificant.
