Baffle blocks

Baffle blocks
The canal spillway of Laguna Diversion Dam, shown here, uses a baffle chute drop structure to pass water to a lower elevation.

Baffle blocks are concrete structures with different shapes, for example trapezoidal,[1] used in flowing water to reduce its force. They are arranged in several rows in stilling basins.[1] They are used in spillways and dams, in irrigation systems,[2] to protect fishes in rivers with hydrotechnical installations,[3] to improve sediment deposition, as a solution to scouring in hydraulic projects[4] and in flood control.
