The Avatiu Stream is the largest watercourse on Rarotonga. It rises in the central mountains beneath Te Rua Manga and flows north to the sea at Avatiu. The stream flows at a constant grade of 4.5% and has a length of 4.85 km (3.01 mi). [1] In 2018 a heavy downpour caused the stream to overflow its banks and flood businesses in Avatiu. [2]

In the United Kingdom, they may be known as overflow channels. Spillways ensure that water does not damage parts of the structure not designed to convey water. Spillways can include floodgates and fuse plugs to regulate water flow and reservoir level. Such features enable a spillway to regulate downstream flow—by releasing water in a ...
The stream gets its name from Gelvert Bottom, marshy terrain as it passes under Aldershot Road. Another stream and surface water drains join before it is crossed by the A323 Norris Hill Road and passes under the Basingstoke Canal where it receives overflow water from a pair of weirs. Others join before it dissipates into reed beds on the south ...
A streambed or stream bed is the bottom of a stream or river and is confined within a channel, or the banks of the waterway. [1] Usually, the bed does not contain terrestrial (land) vegetation and instead supports different types of aquatic vegetation ( aquatic plant ), depending on the type of streambed material and water velocity.
The limited capacity of the stream means that it takes a very long time to drain excess flow from Clear Lake, increasing the chance of flooding around the lake. The bottleneck is seen as a backup to prevent flooding downstream and Yolo County is prohibited from increasing the capacity of the channel by the Gopcevic and Bemmerly Decrees.

The overflow rate is defined as: [citation needed] Overflow rate (v o) = Flow of water (Q (m 3 /s)) /(Surface area of settling basin (A(m 2)) In many countries this value is named as surface loading in m 3 /h per m 2. Overflow rate is often used for flow over an edge (for example a weir) in the unit m 3 /h per m.
