FSL of the project: ……………(defined after project optimization)

Crest Level of Dam=FSL + Free Board

Free Board Calculation: (As per code IS10635:1993)

Each parameter should be defined from the code.

Dam height=Crest level-river bed level

Dam type selection

Based on the topography of the project area and the site verification the type of dam is to de
defined.
