What is Symons Rain Gauge Symons rain gauge is non-recording type rain gauge. It is only collect rain water. It does not measure the reading of collected water. After rain water collection, it is measure by graduated cylinder. The amount of rain collected in the graduated cylinder directly reflects precipitation in cm of water depth. … Read more
Probable Maximum Precipitation is called PMP in short form. Probable maximum precipitation is used in the design of large hydraulic structures, such as drainage ditches in large dams. There appears to be a physical upper limit on the amount of precipitation that can fall on a given area at any given time. Probable maximum precipitation … Read more
In this article, I will discuss the Differences between Rapid Gravity Filters and Slow Sand Filters. The difference between the two lies not only in the filtration rate but also in the concept of the washing process. Slow sand filtration is a biological process in nature and rapid sand filtration is a physical cleaning process. … Read more

In this article, we are going to discuss the difference between centrifugal pumps and reciprocating pumps. Centrifugal and reciprocating pumps are the most common types of pumps used to move and pressurize fluids. Centrifugal pumps also called rotary pumps, use the kinetic energy of an impeller to force fluid and increase its kinetic energy. This … Read more

A liquid moving through a closed channel such as pipe or between two flat plates is either laminar flow or turbulent flow, based on the velocity, pipe size (or on the Reynolds number), and fluid viscosity. First, we will learn about laminar flow. Laminar Flow A laminar stream is the development of liquid particles along … Read more
In this article, I will describe prismatic channels and non-prismatic channels. These two channels are considered open channels. Let’s get started. First, we will know about prismatic channels. What are Prismatic Channels? Prismatic channels have a uniform cross-section throughout the channel length and constant bottom slope. Prismatic channels can be triangular, rectangular, parabolic, trapezoidal, or … Read more
