Question

The principal feature of an ASOM is similar to those of a flume regulator.

(a) True

(b) False

The question was posed to me by my college professor while I was bunking the class.

The doubt is from Regulation Modules in section Regulation Modules and Canal Structure of Irrigation Engineering

Answer 1

Right answer is (a) True

To explain: On the upstream side, a flume regulator with horizontal crest and curved water approach is used and the downstream wings expanding to the width of the watercourse. The provision of cast iron block is done, unlike gates around which masonry is done.
