The article focuses on an association of the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) for repairing damages of spillways at the Oroville Dam. Topics discussed include assistance of the dam in several issues such as hydropower production; consideration of emergency spillway construction with analysis of soil erosion in the dam's spillway on February 11, 2017; and analysis of spillway's failure in the dam by the DWR with assessment of slabs.

The article reports on the failure of a dam's emergency spillway in California on February 7, 2017 including a big hole discovered on the main spillway, risk of its collapse, lowering the lake level by doubling the flow in the main spillway as a solution, and the need for its repair.

The article offers information on the failure of the spillway for California's Oroville Dam on the Feather River and Daniel-Johnson Dam on the Manicouagan River. Topics discussed include decreasing cost of Oroville with multiple-arch concrete dam; design and construction of long, high-capacity concrete chute spillways for Daniel-Johnson Dam; and performance of the dams.

The article focuses on the underway for the restoration of Spillway Pond, which is the emergency spillway of Garrison Dam in North Dakota, after the great flood of 2011. It mentions that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Garrison Dam National Fish Hatchery had a problem due to the lower than normal elevations of the pond. According to Ryan Newman, lake manager at Riverdale Project, the goal of their project is to return the pond into its pre-flood state.
