    The document discusses formulas for calculating submergence, which is the depth of water over the intake of a penstock pipe. It provides equations from Gordon (1970), Prosser (1977), and the ITDG Manual for calculating submergence based on factors like velocity, height, and pipe diameter. It then applies these formulas to calculate a recommended submergence of 0.90 meters for a particular project based on the given design discharge, internal diameter, cross-sectional area, and velocity at intake.
