Hydraulic and numerical models were applied to design the emergency spillway of ImHa multipurpose Dam. For the numerical model, FLOW-3D was used to evaluate the three-dimensional flow in the spillway. The results of hydraulic model were compared with those of the numerical model which were separated into four zones such as approaching zone, weir zone, transition & tunnel chute zone, and dissipator zone. Moreover, for optimum design of the spillway, the hydraulic and numerical models were performed for the basic plan. Solving the problems of the basic plan, the optimized alternative design was proposed. The numerical models for various conditions of the spillway were performed, which is not always feasible in the hydraulic models. Verified by using the hydraulic models, the optimum alternative design was proposed.

Cut-off wall with a low permeability can be constructed to prevent groundwater seepage in spillway tunnel areas. Three spillway tunnels are constructed in Im-ha multipurpose dam region and three types of cut-off walls with a variety of directions and scales are designed. As a result of MODFLOW modeling to assess the effect of cut-off wall for three types, groundwater inflows to the tunnels range from 64.26 $m^3/day$ to 65.49 $m^3/day$ and also they through a cut-off wall section from a reservoir do from 44.08 $m^3/day$ to 45.31 $m^3/day$ and it does not show any significant difference among them. Therefore, a construction process and an environmental conservation rather than the effectiveness of cut-off wall need to be considered to select the best cut-off wall in this region.
