DISTRIBUTION of WATER RESOURCES

n In Turkey, 536 large dams have been built and being operated. On the other hand, Small Hydraulic Works Department has built 42 small dams. n Here, 50 storage facilities that are not considered as dam due to their low heights (<15 m) and low storage capatcities (<2 hm 3) have not been taken into account. n By now, construction of 100 dams and hydroelectric powerplants is going on.

Definition n A dam is a structure which prevents the flow of water and accumulates it in a reservoir Karakaya Dam/Diyarbakır Atatürk Dam/Şanlıurfa

Needs for Dam Construction 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Drinking and domestic water supply Flood control Irrigation Industrial water supply Hydroelectric energy production Retention and control of sediments and Inland navigation, Improvement of water quality, Fish Farming, Recreation facilities

CLASSIFICATION OF DAMS

ACCORDING to the SIZE of the DAM 1. 2. Large (Big) dam Small dam n International Commision on Large Dams, (ICOLD) assumes a dam as big when its height is bigger than 15 m. n If the height of the dam is between 10 m and 15 m and matches the following criteria, then ICOLD accepts the dam as big: n n If the crest length is bigger than 500 m If the reservoir capacity is larger than 1 million m 3 If the flood discharge is more than 2000 m 3/s If there are some difficulties in the construction of foundation

ACCORDING to HEIGHT of DAM n High Dam or Large Dam n n Medium Dam n n If the height of the dam is bigger than 100 m If the height of the dam is between 50 m and 100 m Low Dam or Small Dam n If the height of the dam is lower than 50 m

ACCORDING to the STATICAL DESIGN of DAM BODY n Gravity Dams n Arch Dams n Butress Dams Embankment Dams Composite Dams n n (Sarıyar, Çubuk I, Kemer, Sır II Karacaören II) (Gökçekaya, Karakaya, Oymapınar, Gezende) (Elmalı II) (Atatürk, Seyhan, Aslantaş) (Keban)

GRAVITY DAMS n Gravity Dams use their triangular shape and the sheer weight of their rock and concrete structure to hold back the water in the reservoir. Sarıyar Dam – Sakarya River; Height= 90 m Reservoir Capacity= 1. 9 billion m 3

ARCH DAMS n Arch Dams utilize the strength of an arch to displace the load of water behind it onto the rock walls that it is built into. Karakaya Dam – Fırat River; Height= 173 m Reservoir Capacity= 9, 5 billion m 3

BUTRESS DAMS n Buttress Dams use multiple reinforced columns to support a dam that has a relatively thin structure. Because of this, these dams often use half as much concrete as gravity dams Elmalı II – Göksu River; Height= 42. 5 m Reservoir Capacity= 10 million m 3

EMBANKMENT DAMS (Rock Fill or Earth Fill Dams) n n n They are mostly composed of natural materials such as, clay, sand, gravel etc. . . Impervious core is placed in the middle of the embankment body Generally riprap is used to control erosion Atatürk Dam – Fırat River; Height= 169 m; Reservoir Capacity= 48, 7 billion m 3

COMPOSITE DAMS n Composite dams are combinations of one or more dam types. Most often a large section of a dam will be either an embankment or gravity dam, with the section responsible for power generation being a buttress or arch. Keban Dam – Fırat River; Height= 163 m; Reservoir Capacity= 31 billion m 3 Gravity & Rock Fill

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF DAMS

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS of CONSTRUCTION PHASE of DAMS River pollution n Erosion n Loss of aesthetic view n Air pollution n Noise pollution n Dust n

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS of RESERVOIRS n n Loss of land Habitat Destruction : n n n n n The area that is covered by the reservoir is destroyed, killing whatever habitat existed there beforehand. Loss of archeological and histrorical places Loss of mineral deposits Loss of special geological formations Aesthetic view reduction Sedimentation Change in river flow regime and flood effects Reservoir induced seismicity Change in climate and plant species

EFFECTS of DAMS to WATER QUALITY n n n Change in temperature Turbidity Dissolved gases in the water n n Water discharged from the spillway contains 110 -120% saturated nitrogen. This amount may be destructive for fish life. Eutrophication n It means increase in vegetation. If moss and other plants exist in water, quality of that water gets worse.
