A water pressure relief apparatus in a traveling water screen adapted to be mounted in a channel such that the traveling water screen filters water flowing through the channel. The channel includes an upstream portion and a downstream portion. The traveling water screen includes a baffle directing water flowing through the traveling water screen and having an upstream surface communicating with the upstream portion of the channel and a downstream surface communicating with the downstream portion of the channel. The baffle has an opening connecting the upstream surface to the downstream surface. The water pressure relief apparatus includes a relief valve adapted to be connected to the baffle. The relief valve has a valve member mounted for movement between an opened position allowing fluid flow through the opening and a closed position engaging the valve seat and sealing the opening against flow therethrough.
