Scour may be defined as deepening and widening of water channel under the influence of the flowing water with high velocities.
The scour continues until the energy of the flowing water reaches the normal channel energy.

A weir on pervious soil needs length L to:
a) Cover percolation length, b) Resist scour from falling water
is the flow of water under the ground surface due to an applied differential head
(creep length) is the length to dissipate the total hydraulic pressure on the structure
(Piping) is to carry away (wash) soil particles with flowing water below the ground surface causing collapse or failure of the above structure

water head will force (push) the water to percolate through the soil voids if water velocity at D.S. end is not safe (> v critical) then undermining occurs, i.e. water at exit will carry away soil particles
v = k I (Darcy,s law) = k dP / dl = k H / L
In practice: icr = vcr / k
is unknown
Therefore we carry the 2nd experiment
e = voids ratio e = vv/ vs
e = (1 vs) / vs = (1 / vs) 1
Or 1+e = 1 / vs
or
vs = 1 / (1+e)

The length of the seepage path transversed by the water is known as the length of creep
(percolation length).
Bligh supposed that the dissipation of head per unit length of creep is constant throughout the seepage path. CB = Bligh coefficient of percolation C B = V/K
Percolation length is the path length from (a) to (b) LBligh = CBligh . H
