A dam reservoir which is not provided with gate controls on its spillway and other sluices is called ________________ Correct Answer retarding basin

Storage reservoir is the one having gates and valves installed at its spillway and at its sluice outlets. The retarding basin is the one with uncontrolled and ungated outlets. The cost of gate installation is saved and there are no gates hence, the possibility of human error and negligence in their operation is eliminated.

A drainage gallery with its drainage pipe system provided in a gravity dam reduces the uplift pressure at all levels below the upstream water level. 3. An earthquake acceleration of 0.1 g acting vertically downward causes a decrease of 10% in the limit weight of concrete and of water in a gravity dam. 4. The Tehri dam is a gravity dam.

During rainy season, huge inflow of water takes place into a reservoir. Measures are taken to clear the reservoir while water keeps flowing into it at a constant rate. It has been observed that seven and five men can clear the reservoir in 20 and 50 days, respectively, with the initial quantity of water in the reservoir being 24 and 36 kilolitres, respectively. What is the rate of inflow of water into the reservoir in litres per day?
The water level in a municipal reservoir has been decreasing steadily during a dry spell, and there is a concern that the drought could continue for another 60 days. The local water company estimates that the consumption rate in the city is approximately 107 L/day. The state conservation service estimates that rainfall and stream drainage into the reservoir coupled with evaporation from the reservoir should yield a net water input rate of 106 exp (-t/100) L/day, where t is the time in days from the beginning of the drought, at which time the reservoir contained an estimated 109 liters of water. Integrate the balance to calculate the reservoir volume at the end of the 60 days of continued drought.
A concrete gravity dam having a maximum reservoir level at 200 m and the RL of the bottom of the dam 100 m. The maximum allowable compressive stress in concrete is 3000 KN/m2 and the specific gravity of concrete is 2.4. Calculate the height of the dam and check whether it is a high dam or low dam.
The discharge passing over an ogee spillway is given by (where, L is effective length of spillway crest and H is the total head over the spillway crest including velocity head.)
An inlet pipe A originating from a river can fill a reservoir in 30 days. And an outlet pipe B, which is capable of emptying the completely filled reservoir in 50 days, drains out the water from the reservoir to an irrigation canal. The pipes are opened on alternate days starting with A. On which day form the beginning will the reservoir get completely filled for the first time?
