Shutter-Dams.... The first dam constructed by movable shutters was probably the one across the river Orb(France).... This dam was raised 3 feet by movable wooden shutters hinged to the top of the dam and held by props placed on their down-stream side. The sluice-openings were closed by stop-planks(poutrelles) placed horizontally, one on top of another and attached to each other by chains. 4, record 1, English, - shutter%20weir

Barrages mobiles à hausses. Ce système de barrages diffère des précédents [barrages à pont supérieur] en ce qu'il n'a pas de pont supérieur et que les fermettes ou cadres et la bouchure ne font qu'un, de manière à constituer un panneau unique appelé hausse. 2, record 1, French, - barrage%20mobile%20%C3%A0%20hausses

Hydrological Data Collection. In order to model the hydrology of a stream study segment over a range of flow rates, it is necessary to collect specific data defining the hydraulic boundary conditions. Boundary conditions define the target hydraulic simulation output, i. e. the desired flow rate, velocity and water surface elevation at the up-stream and down-stream ends of the segment. Hydraulic boundary are typically defined by flow rate, velocity magnitude and direction and/or water surface elevation. Boundary conditions, for instream flow analysis, are usually defined at the up-stream or down-stream boundaries of the study segment. In addition to the boundary conditions it is important to collect both quantitative and qualitative hydraulic information within the boundaries of the study segment. This additional data is used for model calibration and verification. 1, record 2, English, - hydraulic%20boundary

Improvements on [the separate tank process] include : stepped aeration, with more oxygen entering upstream than down-stream, stepped feed; the water to be treated is fed in at a number of points along the aeration channel in different ways according to circumstances, while all the recirculated sludge is returned to the head of the tank. 1, record 3, English, - aeration%20channel
