DISCHARGE / CAPACITY STATEMENT
It gives the information about the discharge / capacity of canal at each section
or reach of canal.
Preferably it should be started from the last reach and making the calculation
of discharges up to the starting reach of canal. Based on this discharge, canals reaches
are designed.
