An excavated or natural channel, usually removed some distance from a dam, provided to permit the release of extraordinary flood flows or flood discharge beyond the capacity of the service spillway. Control is seldom furnished and a low embankment of earth may be used to allow the water surface of the reservoir to rise above the crest of the emergency spillway. If continued inflow causes overtopping of the embankment plug, it is intended that the plug shall wash away, releasing the excess water without endangering the main dam. 4, record 4, English, - emergency%20spillway
