New Program Release!

WinFlume, version 2.0, was released in 2020 and can be downloaded from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's
Agricultural Research Service website (scroll down to their "WinFlume 2.0" section to download.)

WinFlume is a windows-based computer program used to design and calibrate long-throated flume and broad-crested weir flow measurement structures.  The software was developed through the cooperative efforts of the Bureau of Reclamation, Agricultural Research Service, and the International Institute for Land Reclamation & Improvement.  Primary funding for WinFlume's development has come from Reclamation's Water Conservation-Field Services Program.
