    Side channel spillways
    (1977) Timm, Trevor Dale; Kilner, F A
    The design of side channel spillways has been discussed in detail by a number of investigators. In this thesis the most important works have been summarised, discussed and in some cases expanded in an attempt to give a concise account of the existing theories. Model tests were carried out on a side channel spillway of general type, as well as on the proposed Mtata dam spillway and the results are presented and discussed. Charts were drawn up and a procedure was recommended for the design of side channel spillways in an attempt to provide a designer with a simple method of design which he can use with confidence.
