Answer the following statement(s) true (T) or false (F)

1. The usual method for computing storage volume is the elevation-area method. 2. Impounded water in a detention basin is released quickly through the outlet structure. 3. A multiple-stage outlet contains more than one outlet structure. 4. The primary purpose of an emergency spillway is to control any eventual overtopping of the detention basin by directing the flow in a harmless direction. 5. Separate grassed channels are used for major detention basins with large maximum impoundments because this is the safest type of emergency spillway.
