Hydraulic Performance of Spillways: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 23:20, 16 March 2023

All dams need adequate spillway capacity. Learn more at DamFailures.org

The hydraulic performance of a spillway is a function of many complex variables. Analyses related to spillway hydraulics include:

Examples

Lesson Learned: High and significant hazard dams should be designed to pass an appropriate design flood. Dams constructed prior to the availability of extreme rainfall data should be assessed to make sure they have adequate spillway capacity (DamFailures.org)
