Outfall

Structure

An outfall is a small surface water drain that discharges into a watercourse or the sea. It can also include larger flapped outfalls where a small watercourse flows under a defence and thence into a larger watercourse or the sea.

An outfall is displayed in AIMS as a point in the centre of the structure.

Element Notes: The penstock element should only be used as part of an outfall when it is not there to provide a formal flow control function. If it does provide a flow control function then Control gate should be used.
