    SPILLWAY AND
    IRRIGATION PUMP

    Definition of Spillway

    The spillways are openings provided at the body of the dam to


    discharge safely the excess water or flood water when the water level
    rises above the normal pool level.
    Necessity of Spillway
    The height of the dam is always fixed according to the maximum reservoir
    capacity. The normal pool level indicates the maximum capacity of the
    reservoir. The water is never stored in the reservoir above this level. The
    dam may fail by over turning so, for the safety of the dam the spillways are
    essential.

    The top of the dam is generally utilized by making road. The surplus water
    in not be allowed to over top the dam, so to stop the over topping by the
    surplus water, the spillways become extremely essential.

    To protect the downstream base and floor of the dam from the effect of
    scouring and erosion, the spillways are provided so that the excess water
    flows smoothly.
    Location of Spillway

    Generally, the spillways are provided at the following places-

    Spillways may be provided within the body of the dam.

    Spillways may sometimes be provided at one side or both


    sides of the dam.

    Sometimes by-pass spillway is provided which is


    completely separate from the dam.
    Types of Spillway

    Drop Spillways
    Ogee Spillway
    Siphon Spillway
    Chute or Trough Spillway
    Shaft Spillway
    Side Channel Spillway
    Drop Spillway

    In drop spillway, the over flowing water falls freely and almost vertically on the
    downstream side of the hydraulic structure.

    The crest of the spillway is provided with nose so that the water jet may not
    strike the downstream base of the structure.

    To protect the structure from the effect of scouring horizontal impervious apron
    should be provided on the downstream side.
    Drop Spillway
    Ogee Spillway
    In Ogee Spillway, the downstream
    profile of the spillway is made to
    coincide with the shape of the lower
    nappe of the free falling waterjet from a
    sharp crested weir.

    In this case, the shape of the lower


    nappe is similar to a projectile and
    hence downstream surface of the ogee
    spillway will follow the parabolic path
    where “0” is the origin of the parabola.

    The downstream face of the spillway


    forms a concave curve from a point “T”
    and meets with the downstream floor.
    Ogee Spillway
    Irrigation Pump
    The mechanism by which the water is lifted from the under ground source to
    some height or to some place is known as pump

    Pumping in ancient time Pumping in modern time


    Types of Pump

     Reciprocating Pump
     Centrifugal Pump
     Turbine Pump
     Submersible Turbine Pump
     Rotary Pump
     Air Lift Pump
