Water falling over this kind of weir recirculates and doesn't have anywhere to go such as in a frowning weir or a smiling weir. If a person falls into this kind of weir they will just be forced back into the weir over and over again - usually churning underwater like in a washing machine. <br /><br />A frowning weir is where the edges go downstream. If someone fell into the water on this kind of weir they would be pushed along (by the water) to the edge and shoved downstream.<br /><br />In a smiling weir the edges go up - just like a smile. If a person falls into this kind of weir the water will force them out in the middle. <br /><br />30 years of whitewater rafting can teach a person a lot about water.aimshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12685252628734838159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3573997081449536840.post-9773026896239147802009-11-04T14:52:20.014+00:002009-11-04T14:52:20.014+00:00Peaceful photo :-)
