ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF
DAMS
 River pollution
DAMPAK  Erosion
LINGKUNGAN  Loss of aesthetic view
MASA
 Air pollution
PEMBANGUNAN
 Noise pollution
DAM
 Dust
 Loss of land
 Habitat Destruction :
 The area that is covered by the reservoir is destroyed, killing whatever
habitat existed there before hand.
 Loss of archeological and histrorical places
DAMPAK  Loss of mineral deposits
LINGKUNGAN  Loss of special geological formations
MASA  Aesthetic view reduction
PEMBANGUNAN  Sedimentation
DAM  Change in river flow regime and flood effects
 Reservoir induced seismicity
 Change in climate and plant species
 Change in temperature
 Turbidity
PENGARUH  Dissolved gases in the water
 Water discharged from the spillway contains 110-120%
DAM saturated nitrogen. This amount may be destructive for
TERHADAP fish life.
KUALITAS AIR  Eutrophication

 It means increase in vegetation. If moss and other plants
exist in water, quality of that water gets worse.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF
DAMS
Dam failure results in a catastrophic
break followed by a flood wave often with
considerable loss of life or property
Safety
during Design, Construction, Operation,
Maintenance, and Surveillance of dams
Past incidents of unacceptable performance can help
us in understanding of method of detection and
expand our knowledge on behavior of dams and
reservoir and this simulates further improvements in
design, maintenance and surveillance of dams
 Lack of shear strength and discontinuity in
foundation
Main  Excessive uplift in the foundation (inadequate or
causes non-existent drainage)
 Lack of dam stability
of Dam  Excessive or differential deformation of the
Failure foundation
Failure of  Piping and erosion in the foundation caused by high
Concrete permeability
Dams  Flaw in design
 Lack of supervision during construction
 No monitoring or warning system (systems were out
of order)
Cont. next page…
 Human error during site investigation and design and
Main construction and operation
causes of
 Inadequate foundation investigation
 Incomplete data on available material
Dam  Poor design

 Negligible construction supervision
Failure  Incomplete first impoundment
Failure of  Incorrect operation of flood gates

 Insufficient monitoring and data analysis
Concrete  Lack of preventive measures or repair work
Dams (cont. )
Main  Overtopping during flood discharge because of inadequate
spillway capacity or non-functioning flood gate
Causes  Internal erosion along the dam-foundation interface or along
embankment with adjoining or embeded appurtunent structures
of Dam or concentrated piping in the embankment itself because of
inadequate or non-existent filter zones
Failure  Nonhomogeneity in the foundation or dam (leading to
foundation failure or erosion )
Embankme  Large settlement in the foundation
nt Dam  Crack following the settlement, with resulting piping effect
Failure  liquefaction
Failure Prevention
 Failure could have been prevented if some of these points had

been observed
 Failure is a complex process
 Begins with some abnormality in behaviour (not detected)
 Consequent deteriorations (not observed)
 Further damage or disaster
Inspection and Monitoring of

dams as well as data analysis
and interpretation has a critical
role in the field of dam safety
Konsepsi Keamanan Bendungan
(adapted for INDONESIA)
Dam Safety Guidelines
 Intended to offer a comprehensive review:

 Dam -design -operation -construction
–maintenance -surveillance
 Recommendations rather than binding regulations
 Guidelines are not standards
 Details dealt with as necessary
Bendungan Konsepsi Keamanan memiliki 3 pilar:
(peraturan, standar, pedoman, dan manual (NSPM))
Pilar I : Keamanan Struktur

Bendungan harus didesain dan dikonstruksi sesuai perkembangan ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi,
sehingga aman untuk segala kondisi dan kombinasi beban kerja serta aman dioperasikan pada segala
kondisi operasi (normal, luar biasa, darurat), untuk itu harus memenuhi kriteria desain.
Pilar II : Pemantauan, Pemeliharaan dan Operasi

Bendungan harus selalu dipantau sehingga dapat diketahui sedini mungkin setiap problem yang sedang
berkembang sebelum menjadi ancaman yang nyata dan selalu dipelihara sehingga selalu siap dioperasikan
pada segala kondisi operasi.
Pada kondisi darurat, operasi bendungan harus diutamakan untuk pengamanan bendungan.
Pilar III : Kesiapsiagaan Tanggap Darurat

Pemilik / Pengelola bendungan harus selalu siap menghadapi kondisi terburuk dari bendungan yang
dimilkinya / dikelolanya. Penanganan pada kondisi darurat tidak dibenarkan dilakukan dengan cara "
improvisasi " / coba-coba tetapi harus berdasarkan RENCANA TANGGAP / TINDAK DARURAT yang telah
disiapkan secara matang.
