Spillway Design

Spillway Design is the academic concept referring to the systematic process of determining the structural and hydraulic characteristics of a spillway to safely convey flood flows from a reservoir, distinguished from other hydraulic design processes by its exclusive focus on the controlled release of excess water to ensure dam safety and downstream stability.
