Abstract
This paper presents the results obtained from a series of experiments made on one-twentieth scale models of the diversion dams for the Pit No. 3 and Pit No. 4 hydro-electric projects of the Pacific Gas and Electric Company. The object of the experiments was to determine the most satisfactory means of controlling or destroying the energy from the over-pour water at the foot of the dams in order to prevent erosion of the down-stream banks and bed of the stream.
