    Upstream Solid Apron<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    \n

    \n
    • Protect weir from erosive forces during floods<\/li>\n
    • Length of apron depends upon discharge in river and length of weir<\/li>\n
    • To prevent any leakage in the sub soil<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      Apron on Downstream Side<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      \n

      \n

      \n
      • To reduce the kinetic energy of water<\/li>\n
      • Length depends upon height of fall of water nature of soil discharge in river<\/li>\n
      • Apron is extended up to the point where there is no scope for erosion<\/li>\n
      • It Should have sufficient width to resist uplift pressure<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
