==Suitable conditions==

On the banks of rivers and lakes.

 

Sites on the inside of bends should be avoided, to reduce sediment deposition and inflow.

Problems can arise if the river bed is unstable (for example, gravel), or the river is very shallow at low flows. It can be difficult to set the intake level to be safe from silting up during floods, but still able to abstract water at low flows. A [[Tyrolean weir - Surface water collection]] can assist with this or a floating intake can be used.
