About this title
Hydraulic engineering reference setting out design guidelines for standard box culverts that allow upstream passage of small-bodied freshwater fish while maintaining flood capacity. Builds on physical and computational modelling to define low-velocity zones along the wetted perimeter of smooth multi-cell culvert barrels.
