Why Physical Hydraulic Modeling
To develop conceptual layout of overall headworks structures
To verify and optimize the initial design of hydraulic structures with respect to cost and operation
To reveal potential demerits of a proposed hydraulic design of various structures and explore solutions
To use as supplementing tool to numerical modelling
To research for innovations in hydraulic structures design
