All gates can be raised up or lowered individually to control the water level upstream of the plant in order to ensure reservoir barrage safety and to optimise electricity generation. Meanwhile, sedimentation in the upstream river pondage can be released when needed.
The Stilling Basin is located downstream of the radial gates to dissipate the energy of the water before being released into the natural river course downstream of the project. This will prevent erosion of the river banks and any other impact on the downstream environment
