The stilling basin can store up to 204,000 m of water and its main purpose is to regulate the water level downstream.
One example of an energy dissipating use is a hydraulic jump stilling basin.
The floodway, long and wide, includes a stilling basin, an approach channel, an outlet channel, and two guide levees.
The stilling pool overflows into a tunnel which leads under the road.
There is however no information whether the damage occurred on the steep chute or in the stilling basin.
The steep chute is followed by a stilling basin before rejoinging the naturel river course.
The weir separating the stilling basin from the desilting basin is small and nearly covered by sediment and vegetation.
However, one word calls out to me from page after page of the report, stilling those voices of passion.
