výpuste

Výpust is a Czech term that generally refers to an outlet or discharge point for water. This can encompass a variety of structures designed to release water from a reservoir, canal, or other water body. The specific design and purpose of a výpust vary greatly depending on the context.

In hydrology and civil engineering, a výpust might be a sluice gate or an opening in a dam that allows for controlled release of water. These are often used for managing water levels in reservoirs, for irrigation purposes, or to release excess water during floods. Agricultural canals frequently feature výpusty to distribute water to fields or to drain excess water away.

The term can also be used more broadly to describe any opening through which something is discharged. For instance, a geological výpust could refer to a fissure or vent from which volcanic material emerges. In a domestic context, a drain in a sink or bathtub could be considered a type of výpust, though more specific terms are usually employed for such applications. The fundamental concept remains that of an exit point for a fluid or other substance.
