 INTRODUCTION

Reservoir can be defined as “It is either a natural pool of water or an

artificial storage of surface water created by construction of a dam wall, to be
used for multipurpose like , Irrigation , Hydropower plant generation , Industial
uses etc.”
The surface flow of any non-pernennial river or a stream always have a
variation in the amount of water.
During the rainy season, in India, all the rivers are over flooded and they
create a danger to the field and settelements along the banks.

 TYPES OF RESERVOIR

Classification Based On Purpose : -

i) Irrigaton ii) Flood control iii) hydropower Genertion
iv) In Land navigation v) In land fisheries vi) Domestic
and industrial water supply.
Classification Based On Functions : -
i) Storage Reservoir
ii) Flood Control Reservoir
iii) Distribution Reservoir

 Planning Of Reservoir

i) Engineering Survey.

ii) Geological Survay.

iii) Hydrological Survay

 Engineering Survey

Under this survey, the site of the the reservoir, and other associated work is
surveyed and a contoured plan is prepared.
The water spread area of the reservoir at the any elevation is determined,
directly by measuring the area covered by a contour of the elevation. By the help
of the planimeter.

 Geological Surveys
These survey are necessary to confirm the followings.
i) Suitability of foundation for the dam.
ii) Water tightness of the reservoir basin.
iii) Location and estimation of the store-quarry, to be used for the
construction work ( the cost of transport is added tot the total
cast of the reservoir.

In case of earthen dam, or low dam sub surface exploration, gives

information about the soil properties and rocks properties.The
availability of material and distance of such location from the dam
site, also is an important criteria to select a site.
So the information collected by through such geolocal field
surveys help to calculate the stability and unstability of the
reservoir.
