Explanation:

Falls and drops are made when the natural ground is steeper than bed slope of channel.

Types of falls:-

1. Ogee falls

2. Rapids

3. Trapezoidal notch falls

4. Syphon well drops

5. Sarda type falls or simple verticle drop

6. Straight glacis falls

7. Montague type falls

8. Inglis falls or Baffle falls

Ordinary falls results in the deep cutting of bed strata as the water hits the bed surface.

Sarda type fall is the combination of small-sized falls resulting in gradual energy dissipation of the water without hydraulic jump formation. Such combination is adopted for weaker strata as the depth of cutting is minimized. It is also economical to build to sarda type fall.
