A fact from Hennepin Island tunnel appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know? column on August 7, 2007.

[edit] spillway the correct term?

The article says this was dug "to create a downstream spillway" but the spillway article says that spillways exist only for flood control of dams. Is what really meant here something different? More like a Power Canal or something similar? 65.210.129.209 13:16, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

The spillway article is too limited. There are other uses for the term, including bypasses of dams or outlets of a channels used during highwater, and outlet channels carved through natural dams such as moraines. Kablammo 13:33, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Something needs fixing then I guess... got any sources that might help with improving the spillway article handy? Thanks. 65.210.129.209 14:20, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
