discharges

I must admit, I couldn't find a word that really suits here in this context, until I searched around on 'vertimiento', the Spanish counterpart.

Have a look in the forum here:

Plenty of options for you.

Hope it helps :)

overflowing or flooding

I can only suppose that vertimentos comes from the verb VERTER. If this is not the case please ignore this suggestion.

overflows

These occur when the reservoir operators release water without generating electricity or because they are forced to.
