Strengthening of Reservoir Embankments

Ramanathan, Rajaraman

This paper is a case study of breach of embankment of 12 lakh m³ capacity raw water reservoirs, situated in Gujarat, India. Three reservoirs were constructed within a cellulose fibre plant to provide water for the plant and the colony. The embankment of one of these reservoirs along with mid-embankment was breached, resulting in minor losses to the property. The root cause analysis of the reservoir breach has been carried out, and rectification measures have been suggested after a detailed analysis. Slope stability and seepage analysis have been carried out by Geoslope software. All the safety measures were taken care for design, and the same have been implemented at site during execution.
