Default Whaley Bridge pumps...

Yes but its really low pressure and if you want to move a lot at a time
there is no benefit to using a siphon. Incidentally, where ARE they
putting all that water?


Where it would go if the dam had not failed
and it was flowing into the spillway when full.

Why not syphons? I mean, pumps use power, quite a lot of it and are
relatively expensive. For a syphon, you just need a suitably sized bit of
pipe.
