A spillway gate, often called a stop gate, is an adjustable mechanism that manages the water flow in rivers, streams, and reservoirs. It ensures the safe, controlled passage of excess water around, over, and primarily through a dam. Consequently, spillway gates act as barriers, aiding in storing surplus water.

The operation of these gates hinges on adjusting the gap between the gate and its adjoining reservoir. A smaller opening when the gate is open results in more water entering the reservoir. Conversely, a larger opening limits river water from entering. When closed, the gate creates a firm barrier between the reservoir and the river.
