The spillway is a structure used to provide controlled release of water from a dam or levee downstream, usually on the banks of a dammed river. In the United Kingdom, they may be known as overflow channels. For safety, the spillways must have sufficient flood discharge capacity, which is likely to occur during the lifetime of the dam.

For many existing dams, the original spillway design was based upon simplified computational methods that neglected the complex, three-dimensional nature of spillway outflows downstream of the formal spillway exit channel. Because of this, a common oversight is the lack of consideration of flow conditions that may endanger the dam.
