Abstract: The substance of the hydraulic and navigational problem of a level crossing of a river with a navigation canal lies in the diametrically opposite requirements concerning the magnitude of river flow velocity at the crossing. In this connection, several hydraulic phenomena, occurring at the crossing, which affect its navigation properties, are pointed out. Equations have been derived for the approximate calculation of the water volume exchange between the river and the mouth of the canal at the crossing.
