Side Spillways for Regulating Diversion Canals
In 1022, the Hydro-Electric Department of the Government of Tasmania completed a diversion channel of 450 sec-ft. capacity to convey water from the Upper Ouse River, at Liawenee, to the Great Lake storage. The intake of this channel is in a deep and narrow gorge where a low weir, only about 100 ft. long, suffices to divert the normal flow into a flume, 1/2 mile in length, built on a rock bench excavated along the wall of the gorge. From the outlet of the flume a canal, part of which is excavated in earth, conveys the water a farther distance of 5 miles where it is discharged into the Great Lake.
