| | There are many configurations for multistage risers according to the flow control requirements. |
| | It is easiest to begin downstream and design with the the highest return period required in mind. |
| | e.g. start by specifying the pipe/culvert component to control the 100 year flow. |
| | Then to work backwards to size the lip or weir at the top of the structure to meet the next return period flow. |
| | |
| | The riser is then designed with flow through one or more orifices. |
