Types of Reservoirs
Reservoirs are of two main categories:
1) Storage reservoirs into which a river flows naturally
2) Distribution or Service reservoirs receiving supplies that are pumped or
channeled into them artificially also called balancing reservoirs.

Storage Reservoir: A reservoir with gate-controlled outlets wherein surface water


may be retained for a considerable period of time and released for use at a time
when the normal flow of the stream is in sufficient to satisfy requirements.

Forms of Storage Reservoir
• Reservoirs formed by a dam across the course of a river, with
subsequent inundation of the upstream land surface are often called
impoundments.
•Water bodies not constructed within the course of the river and
formed by partially or completely enclosed water-proof banks (and
usually filled by diverted river flows or pipes) are often referred to as
off-river, or bonded, reservoirs.
•Reservoirs created by dams or weirs serially along a river course

Storage reservoirs
• An impounding or storage reservoir is a basin constructed in
the valley of a stream or river for the purpose of holding stream flow
so that the stored water may be used when supply is insufficient.

They have the following two functions :


• To impound water for beneficial use.
• To retard flood.
• These two functions may be combined to some extent by careful
operations.
Storage reservoirs design factors
Since storage of reservoir is the essential principle on which an
impounding reservoir is based, the general factors to be considered in
its design are: –
• The run-off or the quantity of water flowing from the drainage
area for successive intervals of time. This, as we have seen, would be
determined from the long-term records of the rainfall and run-off for
the catchments area considered.
• The total demand of water for all purposes including the
consumption requirements, loss of water due to evaporation from the
surface of reservoir, leakage and percolation losses and the necessary
withdrawals to satisfy the demands of the riparian owners own
stream, for like intervals of time.
Principle uses of storage reservoir
Their main uses include:
•drinking and municipal water supply
•industrial and cooling water supply
•power generation
•agricultural irrigation
•river regulation and flood control
•commercial and recreational fisheries
•body contact recreation, boating, and other aesthetic recreational
uses
•navigation
•canalization and
•waste disposal (in some situations).
Types of Reservoirs Contd...
Distribution Reservoir:
A reservoir also called service reservoirs connected
with distribution system or a water supply project and stores the
treated water for supplying water during emergencies (such as during
fires, repairs, a break in a main supply line failure of a pumping plant
etc.) and also to help in absorbing the hourly fluctuations in the
normal water demand.
Distribution Reservoir
This reservoir is requirement of Good Distribution System.
Functions of Distribution Reservoirs:
•To equalize and absorb the variation in hourly demand of water by
the consumers to a uniform rate of supply from the source either by
gravity or pumping,
•To maintain the desired minimum residual pressure in the
distribution system,
•Water stored can be supplied during emergencies.
•To provide the required contact time for the disinfectant added in
order to achieve effective disinfection, and
•To facilitate carrying out repairs either to the pumping main or to
pump-set without interruption to the
supply of water.
Distribution Reservoir
Location and Height of Distribution Reservoirs:
should be located as close as possible to the center of demand.
water level in the reservoir must be at a sufficient elevation to permit
gravity flow at an adequate pressure.
Types of distribution Reservoirs
Underground reservoirs.
Small ground level reservoirs.
Large ground level reservoirs.
