Steady waves at the free surface of an incompressible fluid passing over a depression are considered. By studying a KdV equation with negative forcing term, new types of solutions are discovered numerically and a new cut-off value of the Froude number, above which unsymmetric solitary-wave-like wave solutions exist, is also found.
