Hehehe, I like the style Phil. Not everyone is an engineer like you or me Philip.. :cheer: But for those interested, just Google 'hydraulic jump'. That is the term for what we know as a hole or a wave... Example:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_jump


I think most people that I've tried, have given up. Calculations are awesome and can help a lot but it often comes down to the spot you're faced with and 9/10 times one actually needs big (expensive) earth moving equipment..

Also one little tiny thing to remember is that in certain countries, like in South Africa, it is against several; several laws to alter or disrupt the natural flow of a river.


Ha, good point! I never even thought of that... :cheer:
