Circa (from Latin, meaning 'around, about') - frequently abbreviated c., ca., or ca (and less frequently circ. or cca.) – signifies "approximately" in several European languages (and as a loanword in English), usually in reference to a date.[1]Circa is widely used in historical writing when the dates of events are not accurately known.


When used in date ranges, circa is applied before each approximate date, while dates without circa immediately preceding them are generally assumed to be known with certainty.
Example: George Washington years are:


  • 1732–1799 or 1732–99: Both years are known precisely.

  • c. 1732 – 1799: Only the end year is known accurately; the start year is approximate.

  • 1732 – c. 1799: Only the start year is known accurately; the end year is approximate.

  • c. 1732 – c. 1799: Both years are approximate.

Spillway

Chute spillway of Llyn Brianne dam in Wales A spillway is a structure used to provide the controlled release of flows from a dam or levee into a downstream area, typically the riverbed of the dammed river itself. In the United Kingdom, they may be known as overflow channels . Spillways ensure that the water does not overflow and damage or destroy the dam. Floodgates and fuse plugs may be designed into spillways to regulate water flow and reservoir level. Such a spillway can be used to regulate downstream flows – by releasing water in small amounts before the reservoir is full, operators can prevent sudden large releases that would happen if the dam were overtopped. Other uses of the term "spillway" include bypasses of dams or outlets of channels used during high water, and outlet channels carved through natural dams such as moraines. Water normally flows over a spillway only during flood periods – when the reservoir cannot hold the excess of water entering the reservoir ove...
