- Definition
- The amount of upward inclination between the horizontal surface of the mean water level of a watercourse where it touches the left bank and the top of the first usable break in slope, measured at the same point on the upper left bank as the military gap width.
- Description
- The left bank is determined by facing downstream (in the direction of flow). The (percent) slope is determined as the change in height divided by the horizontal distance over which the change takes place, multiplied by one hundred: ((h2-h1)/d)*100.
