Download or read book Manual on Small Earth Dams written by Tim Stephens and published by Food & Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO). This book was released on 2010 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication fills a void of practical guidelines for the construction of small earth dams. It presents readers with sound, reliable and practical source material to improve dam siting and design capacity in rural areas, to introduce a beneficiary and gender sensitive approach and to enhance safety and competence in construction. A section also provides convenient guidance on costing, drafting tenders and awarding contracts. The manual is primarily aimed at technicians and others with knowledge of engineering and basic irrigation systems and processes to apply the concepts, techniques and methods proposed, using simple and straightforward design and construction procedures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1-1. Purpose This manual presents fundamental principles underlying the design and construction of earth and rock-fill dams. The general principles presented herein are also applicable to the design and construction of earth levees. The construction of earth dams by hydraulic means was curtailed in the 1940's due to economic considerations and liquefaction concerns during earthquake loading and are not discussed herein. 1-2. Applicability This manual applies to HQUSACE elements, major subordinate commands, districts, laboratories, and field operating activities having responsibility for the design and construction of earth and rock-fill dams. 1-3. References Required and related publications are listed in Appendix A. 1-4. Overview of Manual The objective of this manual is to present guidance on the design, construction, and performance monitoring of and modifications to embankment dams. The manual presents general guidance and is not intended to supplant the creative thinking and judgment of the designer for a particular project. The increased development and expansion of the population in the Nation's watersheds have created a definite need to develop additional water supply. In many areas the existing national infrastructure cannot meet these needs. The increase in urban development has also had a negative impact on water quality. The public is asking that preservation of the environment be an equal goal with the economic benefits of water resources projects. Since the current infrastructure is not meeting public needs, this situation is placing lives, livelihood, and property at risk. Several options are available to provide the additional quantity of water. The simplest and most cost-effective method to obtain the quantities needed is to add additional storage at existing dams. Many of the Nation's existing water resources projects must be modified to add the additional purpose of water supply. In the future, USACE designers will be challenged with requests by the customers and sponsors to modify existing dams to add water supply to other purposes of existing dams. These modifications must include environmental considerations and mitigation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Matching the appropriate technology to food production is now recognized as vital to Third World development. The construction of water storage devices and especially dams on rivers or streams is often crucial in tropical, sub-tropical and Mediterranean climates, where the cultivation of food and cash crops depends upon the availability of water in large quantities. Where natural surface flows are inadequate and ground water supplies are insufficient, such dams, storing off-season water, can become invaluable not only for irrigation, but also for a whole variety of other agricultural purposes. This book is a practical manual for the planning, construction and maintenance of weirs and dams.
