• The flowage of water through the pipe was steady and consistent.
• The dam created a large flowage that submerged the valley.
• Residents were compensated for the flowage of their properties after the reservoir was built.

• The flowage from the spring provided fresh water to the village.
• Heavy rains caused excessive flowage in the drainage system.
