[[File:Riser.gif|thumb|500px|A two stage riser with low flow controlled with an orifice and high flow controlled with a weir.]]
There are many configurations for multistage risers according to the flow control requirements.
It is easiest to begin downstream and design with the the highest return period required in mind.
e.g. start by specifying the pipe/culvert component to control the 100 year flow.
Then to work backwards to size the lip or weir at the top of the structure to meet the next return period flow.
The riser is then designed with flow through one or more orifices.
