INTRODUCTION

SPILLWAY

Dispose flood water in excess of reservoir capacity

Control of discharge over spillway by gate operation

Type of energy dissipator provided

Efficacy of Energy dissipator downstream of spillway

Ski-jump bucket , Stilling Basin, Roller bucket, Stepped Spillway,etc.

Ski-jump bucket throws the jet away from lip depending on velocity & bucket lip angle

Scour occurs d/s of lip of bucket.

to prevent uncontrolled scour of river bed and banks

1. pre-excavated plunge pool is provided.

2. raising tail water level by constructing weir sufficiently d/s.
