Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

In this work, García-Alén and co-workers presented an experimental dataset including 194 experiments in 9 different weirs, and compared the experimental data with numerical results obtained with 2D shallow water model. This was performed in order to quantify the discrepancies that exist due to the not fulfillment of the hydrostatic pressure hypotheses.

The authors obtained results that could be relevant for the validation of other modelling approaches. The topic of research is also a good fit for Water, and it is a well-written paper. Thus, my recommendation is for acceptance.

My only comment is that as the authors conclude that both numerical approaches appear to have difficulties in modelling the water depth patter over and downstream the weirs, some discussion about future strategies to overcome this would be interesting
