Basic factors to be considered in derivation of conservative spillway design floods; possible classification of dams is presented with 3 categories of hazard conditions and associated spillway hydrologic design criteria; procedures are included that permit evaluation of effect of impoundment depth on peak discharge and effect of impoundment volume on transmission downstream of artificial flood that would result from sudden failure of dam; estimation of design storm rainfall and snowmelt, runoff determinations, hydrograph development, and flow routing through reservoir are investigated.
