Abstract (en)

[origin: US5061118A] For the purpose of effecting a quasi-permanent raising of the normal water level of an impounded reservoir and thereby augmenting its storage capacity except during the passage of major floods, the invention consists of rigidly fixing to the sill of the spillway a water level raising means comprising at least one vertical plate capable of resisting the water loads when spilling moderate heads (for discharging the floods of shorter recurrence intervals) but bending at its lower portion where it is fixed to the sill at a predetermined head not higher than the maximum water level in order to discharge larger floods.
