• Abstract:
  WSPRO, a water-surface profile computation model, can be used to analyze one-dimensional, gradually-varied, steady flow in open channels. WSPRO also can be used to analyze flow through bridges and culverts, embankment overflow, and multiple-opening stream crossings. This users manual provides guidance for using version VO60188 (or PO60188) of the WSPRO model. It presents a general overview of input data requirements, uses conceptual examples to illustrate typical data sequences for various model applications, and provides detailed instructions for preparation of input data. Several example problems are included to illustrate both input data and model output. Analysis and interpretation of model output is discussed in detail.
