Dams are structures that hold back water and create reservoirs. There are several types of dams including gravity dams, arch dams, buttress dams, and embankment dams. Engineering geological studies are important for determining the appropriate dam type and location. These studies include reconnaissance, preliminary, and detailed investigations of the reservoir area and dam site to understand the local geology, hydrology, and other factors. Key considerations for selecting a dam type and axis include topography, geology, material availability, spillway placement, seismic activity, safety, costs, and more.

On the other hand, Small Hydraulic Works Department has built 42 small dams.
◼ Here, 50 storage facilities that are not considered
as dam due to their low heights (<15m) and low storage capatcities (<2 hm3) have not been taken into account.
◼ By now, construction of 100 dams and
hydroelectric powerplants is going on. Definition ◼ 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. Drinking and domestic water supply 2. Flood control 3. Irrigation 4. Industrial water supply 5. Hydroelectric energy production 6. Retention and control of sediments
and Inland navigation, Improvement of water quality,
Fish Farming, Recreation facilities BREAKDOWN by PURPOSE of DAMS in EUROPE CLASSIFICATION OF DAMS ACCORDING to the SIZE of the DAM
1. Large (Big) dam
2. Small dam
◼ International Commision on Large Dams, (ICOLD) assumes a dam
as big when its height is bigger than 15m.
◼ If the height of the dam is between 10m and 15m and matches the following criteria, then ICOLD accepts the dam as big:
◼ If the crest length is bigger than 500m
◼ If the reservoir capacity is larger than 1 million m3 ◼ If the flood discharge is more than 2000 m3/s ◼ If there are some difficulties in the construction of foundation ACCORDING to HEIGHT of DAM
◼ High Dam or Large Dam
◼ If the height of the dam is bigger than 100m
◼ Medium Dam ◼ If the height of the dam is between 50m and 100m
◼ Low Dam or Small Dam
◼ If the height of the dam is lower than 50m ACCORDING to the STATICAL DESIGN of DAM BODY
◼ Gravity Dams (Sarıyar, Çubuk I, Kemer, Sır II
Karacaören II) ◼ Arch Dams (Gökçekaya, Karakaya, Oymapınar, Gezende) ◼ Butress Dams (Elmalı II) ◼ Embankment Dams (Atatürk, Seyhan, Aslantaş) ◼ Composite Dams (Keban) GRAVITY DAMS ◼ 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 m3 ARCH DAMS ◼ 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 m3 BUTRESS DAMS
◼ 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 m3 EMBANKMENT DAMS (Rock Fill or Earth Fill Dams) ◼ 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 m3 COMPOSITE DAMS ◼ 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 m3

FACTORS AFFECTING to the DAM TYPE SELECTION ◼ Topography ◼ Geology ◼ Bearing capacity of the underlying soil ◼ Foundation settlements ◼ Permeability of the foundation soil
◼ Material availability ◼ Spillway position ◼ Earthquakes ◼ Safety ◼ Height ◼ Aesthetic view ◼ Qualified labour ◼ Cost FACTORS AFFECTING to the PLACE of the DAM AXIS ◼ Topography ◼ Geology ◼ Materials ◼ Spillway location availability ◼ Derivation ◼ Sediments in the flowing water ◼ Water quality ◼ Expropriation costs ◼ Earthquake possibility ◼ Downstream water rights RIVER BASINS in TURKEY Turkey has been separated into 26 main river basins for the hydrological studies. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF DAMS ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS of CONSTRUCTION PHASE of DAMS
◼ River pollution ◼ Erosion ◼ Loss of aesthetic view ◼ Air pollution ◼ Noise pollution ◼ Dust ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS of RESERVOIRS ◼ Loss of land ◼ Habitat Destruction : ◼ 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
◼ Change in temperature ◼ Turbidity ◼ Dissolved gases in the water ◼ Water discharged from the spillway contains 110-120% saturated nitrogen. This amount may be destructive for fish life. ◼ Eutrophication ◼ It means increase in vegetation. If moss and other plants exist in water, quality of that water gets worse. SOME DAMS from SPACE
