Burkli Ziegler Formula Burkli Ziegler formula is the oldest formula used to determine the peak runoff rate. It was derived by a swiss engineer for local conditions. After that, it was followed in the whole U.S.A. In M.K.S unites it states that Where, ► = The peak runoff in cumecs. ► = Runoff coefficient (Depending…

What is the Spur? Spur is a permeable and temporary structure. These structures are constructed on the curve of a river to protect the river bank from erosion. This type of structure is most suitable where the river carries sediment load in suspension. Don’t be confused about spur and groynes, both are the same type…
