<br />conveyance reduction used (for Methods 3 and 4). Both of these state- <br />ments are printed before the standard cross section output for a cross <br />section. The sequence of the output is the same as the sequence in <br />which calculations are perfonned. First, the water surface elevation <br />is increased over the natural level, and the resulting conveyance is <br />computed. The calculated increase in conveyance, expressed as a ratio <br />of the natural conveyance, is then eliminated from the cross section by <br />encroachment. Next the flow area outside the computed encroachment <br />stations is elill1nated fl'Oll the cross section. After the cross section <br />is adjusted. the water surface elevation is computed by the standard <br />step method. <br />The Summary Printout shown on page 12 of Appendix II reflects the <br />choice of variables selected on the J3 card. The first part summarizes <br />characteristics of the calculated profiles. The second part is a <br />summary of differences. Differences in computed water surface elevation <br />(CWSEL) between each profile and between each cross section, as well as <br />differences between the natural profile and encroached profile (CWSEL- <br />WSELK) are shown. This last difference indicates the impact of <br />encroachments on computed water surface elevations. To have the <br />CWSEL-WSELK data printed out, the user must include WSELK (Code No.9) <br />on the J3 card as shown in the example. <br />In reviewing the results of the first trial, not only should the <br />rise in water surface elevation be reviewed, but the entire run should <br />be reviewed for reasonableness of results for both the natural and <br />encroached profiles.
