Hydraulic transients and pressure changes such as water hammers can be controlled in several ways.

These include:
* Gate controls and governors
* Pressure regulator valves
* Surge tanks

Surge tanks are vertical standpipes that act as a Forebay and shorten the distance for relief from the pressure wave of the water hammer.
