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.

This book was released on 2006-02-15 with total page 1373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water resources stored by dams and reservoirs play an essential role in water resource management, hydropower and flood control. Where there is an extensive network of dam infrastructures, dams have made a major contribution to economic and social development, providing considerable storage capacity per capita. However, dams and reservoirs may also have an important social and environmental impact, and should be studied within the framework of integrated water resource management and sustainable development. Dams and Reservoirs, Societies and Environment in the 21st Century presents the latest research on the role played by dams and reservoirs in 21st century societies, in developed, emergent and developing countries. It analyses the viability of dams and suggests alternative solutions from a holistic perspective, considering the technical, economic, social and environmental aspects. Other issues covered include the social acceptability of dams, public involvement and dam awareness. The book covers subjects ranging from dam engineering, through the benefits and drawbacks of dams, to their social and environmental impact, and contains numerous case studies of the constructive contributions that reservoirs have made to water development and management. The book is a valuable resource for professional and dam engineers, water managers, governmental organizations and commercial enterprises responsible for dam development and management.

Not illustrated. 1904 edition. Excerpt: ...together and fill every cavity. A paper by Mr. Wm. L. Strange, C. E., on "Reservoirs with high Earthen Dams in Western India," published in the Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers, Vol. 132, (1898), is one of the best contributions to the literature on this subject, known to the writer. Mr. Strange states that the rate of filtration of a soil depends upon its porosity, which governs the frictional resistance to flow, and the slope and length of the filamentary channels along which the water may be considered to pass. It is evident, therefore, that the direct rate of infiltration in a homogeneous soil must decrease from the top to the bottom of the puddle trench. The best section for a puddle trench is thus a wedge, such as an open excavation would give. It is true that the uppermost infiltrating filaments when stopped by the puddle, will endeavor to get under it, but a depth will eventually be reached when the frictional resistance along the natural passages will be greater than that due to the transverse passage of the puddle trench, and it is when this occurs that the latter may be stopped without danger, as the filtration to it will be less than that that through it. This depth requires to be determined in each case, but in fairly compact Indian soils 30 feet will be a fair limit. Puddle Wall vs. Puddle Trench. There is a diversity of opinion among engineers in regard to the proper place for the puddle in dam construction. Theoretically, the inner face would be preferable to the center, for the purpose of preventing any water from penetrating the embankment. It is well known that all materials immersed in water lose weight in proportion to the volume of water they displace. If the upper half of the dam becomes...
