Figure 6.55 shows the critical depth in Ubaye River profile from upstream to
downstream: (a) simulation with maximum discharge of 205 m 3 /s and (b) simu-
lation with maximum discharge of 480 m 3 /s. As shown in the figures, the critical
depth for both models shows almost the same location for upstream and down-
stream. It means that in these locations, the banks have the capacity to overtop.
Figure 6.56 shows the simulation of velocity and water depth in Ubaye River.
Dash lines represent simulations with a maximum discharge of 205 m 3 /s and solid
