Abstract

Almost every hydraulic project needs a reservoir (or pool) to control flood as well as to store water for irrigation, power generation, domestic, and/or industrial water supply. A spillway or headwork with control devices such as gates or shutters is almost invariably demanded for releasing excessive flood inflow, or diverting water into canal system. Different types of hydraulic gate and hoist working on different principles and mechanism are used in spillways, sluices, and tunnels, etc.
