Outlet Works for Beltzville Dam, Pohopoco Creek, Pennsylvania; Hydraulic Model Investigation.
Abstract
Model investigation of the outlet works for the Beltzville Reservoir was concerned with the overall performance of both the flood-control and selective withdrawal facilities of the intake structure. The study was conducted in a 1:20-scale model of the outlet works which reproduced a portion of the approach area, the intake structure, the outlet conduit, and the hydraulic-jump type stilling basin. Modifications of the proposed outlet structure were required to provide effective regulation of flood-control releases up to about 2000 cfs and water-quality releases ranging from 35 to 300 cfs (summer and winter flows).
