Spanish term or phrase: gráficos de gasto

Hi, I'd appreciate your help with this term.

The text is about water management. I wanted to confirm that this is refering to "freeboard"

Context is:
"Las maniobras de órganos de desagüe se resumirán en ábacos que permitan determinar el caudal a evacuar en función de las dos variables utilizadas: cota y caudal entrante, complementadas con los gráficos de gasto de los órganos de desagüe
...
Una vez estudiadas las avenidas afluentes a los embalses y las curvas de gasto de los aliviaderos de las presas, se procederá al estudio de los niveles de la lámina de agua en el cauce, aguas abajo de las presas en estudio, tanto en la presentación de avenidas como en periodos normales."

Thanks :)
