Backwater Curves

Backwater Curves is a phenomenon in open-channel hydraulics characterized by the gradual rise in water surface elevation upstream of a flow obstruction or control structure, distinguishing it from uniform flow by its non-uniform, subcritical flow profile induced by downstream boundary conditions.
