Most likely, I mean it's pretty cool looking but guessing the flow
would have gotten pretty concentrated on the sides if the "wings" of the dam were simply a straight shots at an angle down a flat surface, this way it gets spread out over a much greater area. I'll have to go look at picture where water is overflowying the dam. Yeah, curved up at the dam to maintain laminar flow, I would say it's meticulously designed, function can be beauty, eg the lines of a sleek sports car.
But yeah, a cool looking dam.

The ledges look like paths to me for runoff to slow down before hitting
