Reduce flooding
obsidian's advantages are its really pretty
Some advantages of liquid level measurement include real-time monitoring, improved process control, early detection of leaks or spills, and increased safety by preventing overfilling or underfilling of tanks.
The advantages is that it can be a warm climate disadvantantages is extriem weather
Advantages Hybrid breeding Hardiness Precocity Maintain consistency
There are no obvious advantages of tidal waves. The damage they do outweighs anything else.

Glacial spillways are formed when meltwater from a retreating glacier creates a pathway through moraines or other glacial deposits. As the glacier retreats, the trapped water is released, carving out a channel that can carry large volumes of water downstream. These spillways are important for draining glacial lakes and preventing catastrophic flooding.
construction of spillways
The Hoover dam has two spillways, one on the Nevada side and one on the Arizona side. The spillways are located 27 feet below the top of the dam, one on each side of the dam. Any water getting up that high will go into the spillways. There are "Drum Gates" in the spillways, but these are actually there to allow more water to be stored behind the dam. When they are raised they can allow an additional sixteen feet of level to be stored behind the dam. The spillways have only been needed twice in Hoover Dams history. The first time was in 1941 to test the system. The second time was in 1983 for an actual flood.
"Diversionary" refers to actions or strategies intended to divert attention away from a particular issue, situation, or problem. This term is often used in political or military contexts, where leaders may engage in diversionary tactics to distract the public or opponents from domestic issues or failures. By shifting focus to external conflicts or other activities, the goal is to unify support or deflect criticism.
They open the spillways and both doors of the locks sometime after November 15 and let the water drain down stream. This is so ice flows don't damage them. In the spring after the snow melts the spillways are closed and the canal refills.

In the UK it is an emergency diversionary sign for motorways and primary routes.
