Baron Dover is a title that has been created three times, once in the Peerage of England, once in the Peerage of Great Britain and once in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. All three creations are now extinct.
The first creation came in the Peerage of England in 1685 when Henry Jermyn was made Baron Dover. In 1703 he also succeeded his elder brother as Baron Jermyn. For more information on this creation, see the latter title.
The second creation came in the Peerage of Great Britain in 1788 when then soldier General Sir Joseph Yorke was made Lord Dover, Baron of the Town and Port of Dover, in the County of Kent. He was the third son of Philip Yorke, 1st Earl of Hardwicke. The peerage became extinct on Lord Dover's death in 1792.
The third creation came in the Peerage of the United Kingdom in 1831 when the politician George Agar-Ellis was created Baron Dover, of Dover in the County of Kent. He was the only son of Henry Ellis, 2nd Viscount Clifden. For more information on this creation, see Viscount Clifden.

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...
