Any modern dam has computer-controlled Gates which can be opened remotly by some switch/computer instruction .

All dams have had release valves, or "sluices", built into them, irrespective of the mode of control. They are used to maintain flow in the river downstream during short dry spells, to flush out accumulated silt or to drain the reservoir for repairs.

What is hydraulic height as it relates to a dam?
The pressure that water exerts on the walls of the dam is proportional to the depth of the water or you might say the height of the column of water from the base of the dam. The hydraulic height is the same as the depth of the water to the bottom of the dam.
The what energy of water in a dam is increased by raising the level of water behind the dam?
Potential Energy
What is impounded water?
Water retained for the dam.
What is the definition of scour pipe?
A scour pipe is used to flush out sediment or release water. It usually runs near the bottom of a dam.
Why the base of the dam is made wider?
The pressure of the water against the top of the dam wall, is much less than the pressure exerted against the bottom of the dam wall. The width of a dam wall increases to compensate for the increased water pressures at the lower level.
What is the Dam joke?
One time a Dam man went to drink the Dam water. He was all out of Dam water so he went and got his Dam bucket to fill it up with Dam water from the Dam well. His Dam well was empty, so he went to another Dam man to get Dam water. He asked the Dam man," Can I have some Dam water, Please?" The Dam man Replied, "Get your own Dam water!"
What is a water dam?
A water dam is place where rain water is stored to get to be fertilized
Is water depth greater near the rainbow dam or the Ryan dam?
Is water depth greater near the rainbow dam or the Ryan dam
What is increased in a dam by raising the water level?
Water pressure on the dam.
How do you make a dam?
A dam is simple to make there is a turbine and a big concrete structure that holds water on the other side of the dam. The turbine is in the dam and is turned by the water coming threw the dam.
What is a hydro electric power dam?
A dam is a wall that holds back water on one side. Such a dam can be made to release this water though a pipe into which a propeller is fitted. As the water flows down the pipe, this spins the propeller, which in turn spins a dynamo that generates electricity. As the source of electricity is water power, the term used is "hydro electric power" - "hydro" refers to water.
What is hydraulic height as it relates to a dam?
The pressure that water exerts on the walls of the dam is proportional to the depth of the water or you might say the height of the column of water from the base of the dam. The hydraulic height is the same as the depth of the water to the bottom of the dam.
Where is the water for the hoover dam stored?
In the hoover dam.
What structure built across a river to hold back water?
A dam.
The depth of water behind the Hoover Dam in Nevada is 220 m what is the water pressue at the base of this dam?
water pressure at the base of the dam is (specific weight of water * depth)2158.2KN/m2
What will happen if water falls from a dam?
what will happen if falls from a dam
The what energy of water in a dam is increased by raising the level of water behind the dam?
Potential Energy
