Asst. Prof. Dr. Mahmoud I. Mahmoud at the department of Civil Engineering gave a seminar entitled "" FUSEGATE SYSTEM:INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY FOR INCREASING STORAGE and/or DISCHARGE IN KURDISTAN RESERVOIRS"" on 23-April-2020 at 12:00 PM in online (Hangouts Meet).

Fusegate are a new type of spillway discharge design which are used to store water and discharge it in an effective way together to get more water. The Fusegate System is based on the concept of free-standing units installed side by side on a spillway sill to form a watertight barrier, they bear against small abutment blocks set in the sill to prevent them from sliding before they are required to rotate under extreme flood conditions.
