Abstract- 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. There is a chamber in the base of each Fusegate, with drain holes to discharge incidental inflow. Each Fusegate has a different overturning level, precisely determined by the height of the water inlet and its own unique stability.
