What is Siphon Spillway Design and Function about?
Siphon spillways are closed conduits in the shape of an inverted U that can control water levels. They operate as a weir for low flows but can flow full like a pipe once primed by increasing flows. Multiple siphons or special designs with air regulation can help reduce instabilities during changing flows. Siphons must be protected from blocking by debris or freezing but have the advantage over other spillways of discharging at a lower elevation.
