5. The bottom outlets, equipment, control, capacity calculating.
6. Stilling basins, objects for energy dissipation.
7. Pooled objects of small dam, polder dam, boulder chute.
8. Outlet tunnels.
9. Surge tank – solutions of the level dynamic, water hammer and its elimination.
10. Behavior of the movable weir during flood, water distribution works on rivers.
