The function of a spillway can be best illustrated as emanating from above well-known legal argument. Impounding large quantity of water behind a dam creates the danger of a dam-break flood wave, which could have catastrophic consequences. The safe design of a dam to avoid such a danger includes a spillway, aptly described as the safety valve of the dam-reservoir system.
In this post I am going to share with you a very effective and useful post related to hydraulics and hydraulic engineering. yeah \”Hydraulics of spillways and energy Dissipators\” a very well renowned book by \”R. M. Khatsuria.\”
