English term or phrase: spillway outfall
Surveillance and monitoring of embankment dams relative to washout is pertinent only with respect to ensuring the condition and levelness of the crest. Low spots, rutting or “built in” unevenness in the crest can exacerbate the potential for overtopping failure of an embankment dam. Spillway capacity must be adequate to prevent this potential failure mode. In the case of embankment dams, the rule is to prevent overtopping, because it can lead to catastrophic failure.
