Data for the Comparison of Computed Flow Through Manually Operated Water Control Structures in Florida Using Theoretical Versus Calibrated Coefficients

Description

Discharge through 13 water control structures in Florida was calculated using theoretical equations and coefficients and compared to USGS-published discharge from October 1, 2007 to September 30, 2019. The two daily mean discharges were not compared for any values below 10 cubic feet per second or if (1) any alterations were made to the published discharge to account for factors such as debris or construction; (2) any values were missing throughout the day; (3) the flow regime changed during the day; or (4) the published discharge was estimated. The structures compared include a mixture of sluice and radial gates with free and submerged conditions for orifice and weir flow. The theoretical discharges, published discharges, and percent differences are included in this data release.
