Question

In a hydro electric plant spillways are used​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

A spillway is a structure constructed in a hydroelectric dam to provide a safe path for floodwaters to escape to some downstream area. Generally, the area that the spillway is released to is the river on which the hydroelectric dam was constructed.

Answer 2

A spillway is used to help floodwater to drain into a downstream area.

• Dams of hydroelectric powerplants have hydraulic structures called spillways.
• These narrow channels are used to divert the surplus water from the reservoir after it is completely filled.
• The spillways can be in the form of a straight drop, a shaft, a chute or a side-channel. The purpose of all of these however, is the drainage of excess water from the dam.
