On-Demand Webinar: Introduction to Earth Spillway Design and Evaluation

This webinar provides an introductory discussion of the processes governing earth and vegetated earth spillway design and performance. Topics include the history of vegetated earth spillway use by the USDA and associated design criteria, the concept of stability and integrity design, the importance of maintenance, and the erosion processes quantified in the SITES program. Examples from USDA NRCS experience and USDA ARS research will be used to illustrate the erosion processes discussed. There are no education or experience prerequisites for this webinar. Knowledge and/or experience in the area of dam engineering or hydraulics would be beneficial.
