The riprap apron is one of the most common forms of outlet protection on small dams. The riprap apron is typically a flared transition constructed at zero grade for a distance downstream that is related to the conduit diameter. Although the riprap apron provides relatively little energy dissipation, it can provide very effective erosion protection at the conduit outlet by armoring the turbulent transition area. The key design parameters of the riprap apron are apron length, apron width, riprap thickness, and riprap size.
