A spillway is designed to conduct flood flows safely passing the dam, which plays an important role similar to a safety valve in hydraulic projects. Improperly designed spillways or spillways of insufficient capacity are responsible for many fatal accidents (e.g., failure) of dams. Therefore, spillways are, or should be, designed to accommodate flows during maximum flood period so as to prevent damage to the dam and appurtenant structures. Their size and location are determined by the size and type of dam, local topography, geology, and careful review of the stream flow history at the work site.
