Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a reservoir with a peak discharge estimate of 500 m³/s. Design a simple spillway that can handle this discharge. Discuss the features you would include.

💡 Hint: Think about flow area and safety features.

Question 2

If erosion occurs 100m downstream of a spillway due to high-velocity water, analyze potential design changes to mitigate this issue.

💡 Hint: Consider how to slow down the water effectively.
