 To discourage concentrated flow, water velocity in the channel can be reduced by using multiple check dams.  The distance between check dams will depend upon the slope of the conveyance structure, but should be spaced so that the base of the upstream check dam is even with the peak of the downstream structure.  As the slope of the conveyance structure is increased, the number of check dams that will be needed to prevent concentrated flow in the channel increases as well.  As a result, check dams used in conveyance structures with slopes greater than 6% may not be practical.
