Överflödesmagasins
Överflödesmagasins, often translated as overflow magazines or storage basins, are structures designed to temporarily store excess water during periods of high flow in drainage systems or natural watercourses.

These structures are typically integrated into the design of stormwater management systems, canals, or river embankments.
The operation of an överflödesmagasin is usually passive. When water levels rise beyond a certain threshold,
