What is a Reservoir?
Storage/Conservation Reservoir
Flood Control Reservoir
Multipurpose reservoir
Distribution reservoir
Storage/ Conservation Reservoir
Can retain such excess supplies during periods of peak flows, and can
release them gradually during low flows as and when the need arises.
Flood Control Reservoir
Storage reservoir
Retarding reservoir
STORAGE RESERVOIR & It’s Purpose
A Reservoir having gates and valves installation at its spillway and at its
sluice outlets is known as storage reservoir.
The storage reservoir is generally constructed on the notion – a perennial
river which cannot supply water during the summer season with the storage
reservoir, the flow of water in the river is regulated.
The various purposes for which the storage
works are required are
Irrigation
Hydro-electric power generation
Domestic and industrial water supply
Control of destructive floods
Low water regulation for generation
Recreation
Preservation and breeding of useful aquatic life
San Roque Dam
San Roque Dam
A 200-meter-tall and 1.2 kilometer long embankment dam found in the river
of Agno.
The largest dam in the Philippines and sixteenth largest in the world.
The San Roque dam impounds a reservoir with a surface area of about 12.8
square kilometers extending North into the municipality of Itogon, Benguet.
A gated spillway protects the dam from overtopping. Each wet season, the
run-off is stored for later release via water turbines to generate power and
irrigate crops.
