Spillway

Spillways are facilities for conveying excess streamflows past a dam. In important projects on major rivers, spillways are sized to discharge extreme floods. At a concrete gravity dam, the spillway is typically made part of the main structure, providing an overflow that is either uncontrolled or regulated by gates (Fig. 12).At an embankment dam, the spillway is usually a .
