Spillways are hydraulic structures that divert excess water from a reservoir after it has reached its maximum capacity. Energy dissipators are structures that reduce the energy of water flow after it passes through a spillway.  Here are some types of spillways: Chute spillway: A spillway that carries surplus water from upstream to downstream through a steeply sloped open channel. It's usually built at the end of a dam or separately in a natural saddle in the riverbank. Chute spillways are useful for gully head control and can be used for drops of up to 5–6 meters. Ogee spillway: Allows for... Show more
