Spectacular Moment Of Reservoir Discharging Flood !

Sluice discharge in a reservoir means opening a gate in a reservoir or sluice to release the stored water into a downstream river to reduce the water level and pressure of the reservoir, while providing water resources downstream !

This measure is mainly used to regulate the amount of water in rivers and control floods. When the water level of the reservoir is too high, beyond the safe level, measures need to be taken to release the excess water to prevent flooding. Sluice opening is one of the commonly used measures, sluice is an important facility in water conservancy project !

The purpose of discharging water is to avoid serious disasters caused by water overflow or the collapse of reservoir dam and dyke, and to ensure the safety of reservoir dam. When the continuous heavy rainfall in the upper reaches of the reservoir causes the reservoir to exceed a certain level (flood limit level), the operation measures of releasing flood water to the downstream river will be taken to ensure the safety of the reservoir dam !
