An escape constructed with masonry or pitched with stones to dispose off surplus of tank or reservoir is called________________?

Question

Accepted Answer

Bye-wash. An escape constructed with masonry or pitched stones to dispose of surplus water is technically called a 'Bye-wash' or 'Spillway'. However, in specific civil engineering contexts for tanks/reservoirs, 'Bye-wash' is the standard term for an overflow channel. 'Paved-escape' describes the material but is not the primary technical name.
