“The general considerations for selecting the type and size of a new spillway and/or modifying an existing spillway include: project requirements (frequency and duration of operation, along with flood control requirements); dam type (concrete, embankment, composite); site conditions (topography, geology, and climate); hydrologic and seismic loading requirements; and diversion during construction requirements”.[1]
