headwater side Explanation: headwater = water before the dam as in "The reservoir, completed in 1992, impounded 1.2 billion US gallons (4,500,000 m3 ) of water before the dam and water level were increased in 2009.[2] The reservoir serves as a water source for Douglas County. After leaving the reservoir, the Dog River flows into the Chattahoochee River." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 godz.

In terms of head, dams are divided into low-head, with a head of up to 10 m; medium-head, with a head of 10-40 m; and high-head, with a head of more than 40 m. https://www.revolvy.com/topic/Dog%20River%20(Georgia)&uid=1575 |
