Preliminary Remarks.—Arts. 2 and 3 of this Chapter deal with the calculation of flood discharges, Art. 2 dealing with small streams, in which the water has to be got rid of, and Art. 3 with large streams. The remaining articles discuss the methods of predicting floods and of preventing them from doing damage. When the discharge figures have been arrived at in any case, the necessary masonry works can be designed in accordance with the principles described in Chaps. X. and XI. For remarks regarding the design of channels and banks, see Chap. IX., Art. 4, and also Art. 6 of the present Chapter. · Note 11.
