(Redirected from « Landfill (hydraulic) »)
The hydraulic spillway or spillway is a hydraulic structure designed to promote the free or
controlled passage of water in surface runoff , the spillway being exclusively for drainage and
not for measurement. There are various types depending on the form and use made of them,
sometimes in a controlled manner and other times as a safety measure in case of storms in
dams.

It has several purposes, among which stands out:
Guarantee the safety of the hydraulic structure, by not allowing the rise of the level,
upstream, above the maximum level (NAME for its acronym Extraordinary Maximum Water
Level) (see: Reservoir )
Guarantee a level with little variation in an upstream irrigation canal. This type of landfill is
called "duckbill" because of its shape.
Become a part of a gauging section of the river or stream .
Dissipate the energy so that the return to the natural channel does not cause damage. This
is done using jumps, trampolines or bowls. In loose material dams the
spillway is arranged outside the

Generally, the waters close to the free surface of the reservoir
are discharged, as opposed to the bottom discharge , which
allows the controlled exit of water from the deep strata of the reservoir.

Weirs allow hydrologists a simple method to measure discharge in water flows. Knowing the
geometry of the upper area of the spillway and the water level above the spillway, it is known
that the liquid goes from a slow to a fast regime, and above the thick-walled spillway, the water
adopts the critical draft .
Landfills are widely used in rivers to maintain the water level and be used as lakes, navigation
and recreation areas. Hydraulic mills usually use dams to raise the water level and take
advantage of the rise to move the turbines.
Because a weir increases the oxygen content of the water passing over the crest, it can have a
beneficial effect on the local ecology of the river. A dam artificially reduces the speed of water, The spillway at Coburg Lake in

migratory fish, which cannot jump between levels.
