The document discusses various topics related to flow measurement in hydraulic engineering including: 1. Notches and weirs are structures used to measure flow rate in open channels. Notches are classified and differentiated from weirs. 2. Calibration of notches involves determining the coefficient of discharge which relates actual and theoretical flow rates through a notch. Notches can be used in irrigation canals to measure flow. V-notch and rectangular notches have advantages over other types. 3. Other topics covered include nappe, submerged weirs, orifices and venturimeters which are instruments that can be used to measure flow rates in pipes and channels. Diagrams of these instruments and structures are also requested
