Designing Spillways for Farm Dams: Ensuring Controlled Overflow

Farm dams play a vital role in agricultural practices, serving as a reliable water source for irrigation, livestock, and general farm operations. However, heavy rainfall or excessive water accumulation can lead to the dam’s water levels rising beyond capacity, potentially causing catastrophic consequences. To prevent such scenarios and ensure controlled overflow, designing effective spillways becomes crucial. In this blog post, we will explore the importance of spillways, their design considerations, and best practices for designing spillways that effectively manage excess water while safeguarding the integrity of farm dams.
