What is water spillway?
A water spillway is a structure used to control the flow of water in rivers, reservoirs, or dams during periods of excess water flow. It helps prevent flooding and allows excess water to be safely discharged downstream.
Does all the water on earth go through the water cycle?
Yes, all the water on Earth goes through the water cycle, which involves evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. This continuous process ensures that water is circulated and renewed on the planet.
Does concentration of salt go up or down when water evaporates from an ocean?
The concentration of salt increases when water evaporates from the ocean because only water evaporates, leaving the salt behind. This process is known as "evaporative concentration" and is one of the reasons why ocean water is saline.
Is water stored in the water cycle?
In the sea-evaporates from the sea, comes down as rain on land, goes down the rivers to go back to the sea.
How does the water cycle go around?
Say you are a water droplet in the ocean. This is how your day goes; Evaporation, Condensation, Precipitation, Runoff, Transpiration, Infiltration, Aquifer, Surface Water in the ocean.

What is a nappe?
stream of water flowing over a spillway
What is the name of the Part of a dam for extra or overflow water?
The spillway.
What can dams do with energy until it's needed?
they store it by separating it from the actual river, creating the reservoir. if the reservoir is too full, the water goes down the spillway, to the large river
What year was the bonnet carre spillway built?
The Bonnet Carre Spillway was built in 1937. It is located on the Mississippi River in Louisiana and was constructed to help manage floodwaters and protect the surrounding areas from flooding. The spillway is designed to divert excess water from the river into Lake Pontchartrain during high water events.
How can the spillway be dangerous?
As depicted in this Wikipedia article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spillway), spillways usually feature significant elevated terrain, possibly hundreds of feet. Falling from such height is a certain death. Addition of powerful water current is a guaranteed drowning. Thus unprotected approach or wandering near the spillway is dangerous.
What are the release dates for The Sacrifice at the Spillway - 1913?
The Sacrifice at the Spillway - 1913 was released on: USA: 3 September 1913
What is a spillway?
A spillway is a structure used to provide the controlled release of flows from a dam or levee into a downstream area, typically being the river that was dammed. In the UK they may be known as overflow channels. Spillways release floods so that the water does not overtop and damage or even destroy the dam. Except during flood periods, water does not normally flow over a spillway. Floodgates and fuse plugs may be designed into spillways to regulate water flow and dam height. Other uses of the term "spillway" include bypasses of dams or outlets of a channels used during highwater, and outlet channels carved through natural dams such as moraines.
Does all water go into the water cycle?
no water didn't go to the water cycle the water goes to the sea.
Which type of spillway is least suitable in earthen dam?
The least suitable type of spillway for an earthen dam is a chute spillway. This is because chute spillways can create high-velocity flows that may erode the earthen materials of the dam, compromising its integrity. Additionally, the structure's need for a robust foundation and sufficient spillway width can be challenging to implement effectively in earthen dam construction. Ogee or morning glory spillways are often preferred as they can handle water flow more gently and reduce erosion risks.
What is the invert level of a culvert?
it is the elevation at the bottom of the inside of a pipe (as if there was a drop of water sitting at the bottom) which typically dumps out of a culvert, or spillway
Where does most water go when you have used it?
The water goes to the sewers or underground.
