Relationship depicting critical depth <br /> <br />Water flowing initially ata depth A, marked on the ordinate <br />axis in fig. 3.01. has a total energy head marked Ha on the abscissa <br />axis. If discharge is held constant and the water depth 4110wed to <br />decrease, as in the case of water approaching a free overfall, velocity <br />head will increase, pressure head will decrease, and total energy <br />will decrease toward a minimum value where the rate of decrease in the <br />pressure head is just counterbalanced by the rate of increase in <br />velocity head. This point is critical depth, and velocity head will <br />not continue to increase beyond the value at critical depth (i.e.. <br />critical velocity) unless additional energy is added to the flow as <br /> <br />3.04 <br />
