Navigation Methods
Navigation Methods :
Three basic methods of providing and managing inland waterways - (1) Run-of-the-River: no provision of upstream storage; (2) Slack-Water: locks and dams provide slack water or pools with adequate depth for the draft of heavy barges and area to prevent excessive velocities; (3) Canalization: in lieu of a series of dams on the river a canal with locks adjoins the river.
