| Spillway | A structure designed to allow the safe, controlled overflow or release of water from a reservoir or flood storage area, or over flood defences. It allows excess water to overflow without damaging the water retaining structure (dam or flood defences). These may be linear structures, or shafts (such as bell-mouth spillways). Spillways are defences in their own right. Linear spillways therefore need to snap to defences both upstream and downstream, and cannot be an additional defence parallel with a different defence type. Shaft spillways should be digitised as a line around the perimeter of the structure. | DS | En_32_85_82 | Line |
