English Abstract

The main aspects of spillway design for two small dams in the Western Desert region have been analyzed, checked and evaluated with the help of the hydraulic, hydrologic and climate data collected.

Four different distribution models are used in order to conduct the analysis required to find the different return periods of flood, based on the expected daily rainfall depth.

Two spillways for two different dams, Agree and Abbatial, have been considered in the present study as a case study.

Analysis based on a return period of flood of 50 years has shown that the length of the spillway of Agree dam should be increased by almost 330 % to accommodate the maximum flood discharge.

The spillway of abbatial dam should also be increased by almost 1330 % to accommodate the maximum flood discharge considering the construction materials and the corresponding costs of the proposed spillways, rock type spillway has shown a more suitable one for the Western Desert region.
