This project concerns the computations required to determine the drawdown for the retention/detention of ponds.Drawdown refers to the volume of water in a pond that decreases as the water flows out.The falling head equation has many applications and can Water Bottle be used to calculate the drawdown of a pond through various shaped openings.

In particular, we analyze Crank Disc four outflow structures: a rectangular-notch weir, a v-notch weir, a round orifice, and an underdrain.For each instance, we modify the falling head equation to reflect the shape of the respective orifice.
