29 6. Causes and factors 29
30 6.1 Incorrect siting procedure Reservoirs with low volumes of coarse sand 30
31 Incorrect siting: Reservoirs with fine sand Specific yield of fine sand is 21 [28, 10]% well-sorted, lab conditions However: - Low sorting degree levels Ill sorted fine sand is 13 [25, 4]% - Layers of finer alluvium sediments (interbedding) - Partial saturation of the reservoirs during the first 5-10 years (Wipplinger, 1958) - Partial saturation during poor rainfall years and droughts Real-life specific yield of fine sand lower than 10% Higher probability of low performance and cost-efficiency levels in fine sandy reservoirs Not suitable sites
32 Incorrect siting: Reservoirs with fine sand
33 6.3 Incorrect siting: Reservoirs with silty and/or clayey sediments 33
34 6.3 Incorrect siting: Reservoirs with silty and/or clayey sediments 34
35 6.3 Incorrect siting: Reservoirs with silty and/or clayey sediments 35
36 6.3 Incorrect siting: Reservoirs with silty and/or clayey sediments 36
37 Incorrect siting: Reservoirs with silty and/or clayey sediments
38 6.3 Incorrect siting: Reservoirs with silty and/or clayey sediments 38
39 6.4 Incorrect siting: Seepage losses 39
40 6.4 Incorrect siting: Seepage losses 40
41 6.4 Incorrect siting: Seepage losses 41
42 6.4 Incorrect siting: Seepage losses 42
43 6.4 Incorrect siting: Seepage losses 43
44 Evaporation losses Evaporation may have been undervalued and should be systematically taken into account 10% at 60 cm, 0% at 0,9-1,0 m, but for coarse sand sediments Higher depths with fine sand, and silty and clayey sediments! Shallow reservoirs are vulnerable evaporation up to 0,6 m along all the surface!
45 Incorrect structural design: One-stage high spillways Design principle: Maximise the accumulation of coarse sand Height of the spillway is a key parameter adequate flood velocities allowing deposition of sand sediments in as much different biophysical, rainfall, runoff and sediment transport conditions as possible Lower probability of deposition of fine grain-size sediments Avoid reservoirs formed by mixtures of coarse sand mixed with finer sediments low specific yield
46 Incorrect structural design: One-stage high spillways Solution: Build the spillway by stages of reduced height (-) Not adequate infiltration need to be taken into account (-) Construction time and higher costs for rivers with continuous water flow during the rainy season (intermittent) (+) Maximisation of the performance and cost-efficiency, robustness to variability of rainfall, flow and sediment transport
47 Incorrect siting: Reservoirs with silty and/or clayey sediments All sizes of silty, clayey, sandy and gravel alluvium sediments. Silt- and clay-like particles as suspended load at upper part of the water column. Heavier sand and gravel particles as bedload at the lower part of the flood water
48 6.3 Incorrect siting: Reservoirs with silty and/or clayey sediments 48
49 49 Source: Nilsson, Incorrect structural design: One-stage high spillways
50 Incorrect structural design: One-stage high spillways There are sand dams built in one stage with no apparent siltation problems Catchment areas producing large volumes of sand sediments and/or highly specific rainfall, runoff and sediment transport conditions However, it should not be assumed that these highly specific conditions are applicable to other areas Even in these cases, there is a high probability that the performance and cost-efficiency is not maximum - Variability of rainfall, sediment and runoff - Forced interbedding - Non-selective scouring - Maturity paradox
51 Incorrect structural design: Variability of the rainfall, runoff and sediment transport Annual rainfall at Dwa plantation in Kibwezi, Seasonal rainfall variability at Dw plantation in Kibwezi, Ten-year distribution of good, normal and poor rainfall years in Kibwezi
52 Incorrect structural design: Forced interbedding Construction of one-stage high spillways Higher probability to block the bedload and suspended load Production of normally graded-bedded reservoirs The expected water yield of the sand dam may be assumed to be much lower than the real-life water yield of the reservoir In Keren (Eritrea), one-stage high spillways have been systematically built in catchment areas producing large volumes of coarse sand The reservoirs showed a layer of at least 1 m of silty alluvium sediments below a layer of sandy alluvium sediment of 3 m depth
53 Incorrect structural design: Forced interbedding Systematic change in grain or size from the base of the bed to the top Normal grading with coarser sediments at the base, which grade upward into progressively finer ones
54 Incorrect structural design: Selective scouring of fine grain-size sediments Subsequent floods should not be assumed to systematically wash away fine sediments and leave the coarsest ones The selective scouring of fine grain-size alluvium sediments depends on the energy of the river flow The energy of the river flow is highly variable inherent extreme temporal and spatial variability of rainfall, flood and sediment transport The stage height reduces the energy of the river flow and makes it vulnerable to accumulate fine sediments in a wider range of conditions The depth of the fine grain-size sediments accumulated causes that the energy required to effectively scour is higher As higher the stage height, the lower the probability that the river flow will have the required energy to effectively scour silty and clayey sediments
55 Incorrect structural design: maturity paradox Towards the end of the filling up of the SDs built as one-stage high spillways Spillway height will always have the adequate height to only retain the coarsest bedload sediments The velocity of the flow has been increased as a result of shallower water depth (as it is intended by stages) Independently of the actual distribution of sediments in the reservoir, it will always appear to be homogenously filled up with sandy alluvium sediments Reservoir will be wrongly assumed to be mature The real-life specific yield may be significantly lower as expected low performance and cost-efficiency
56 7. Practical recommendations 56
57 7.1 Practical recommendations: Systematic siting procedure 57
58 Practical recommendations: Real-life specific yield Specific yield analysis of representative sediments in the reservoir should always be systematically carried out In the absence of those: It is recommended to use 20-25% as the reference maximum specific yield of coarse sand reservoirs
59 6.6 Incorrect structural design: One-stage high spillways Stage 1. Spillway is 50 cm above the sand level Stage 2. Flood has brought sand to the level of the spillway Stage 3. Spillway is raised to 50 cm above new sand level Stage 4. Flood has deposited sand to the new level of the spillway Stage 5. Spillway is raised to 50 cm above new sand level Stage 6. This procedure is repeated until the spillway is fully closed 59
60 Practical recommendations: Height of the stages Without an adequate evaluation of the bedload and suspended load characteristics, the precautionary height of cm - 18 cm high proportions of fine alluvium sediments - 50 cm high proportions of coarse sandy alluvium sediments. The height of the stage should be adapted to the most probable minimum flow, i.e. the minimum height of the bedload Only after an evaluation of the rainfall, runoff and sediment transport, the implementation of higher stage heights may be possible
61 Practical recommendations: Multi-stage construction Even by stages, 100% perfection cannot be achieved with smallest floods the velocity of flow may always be low enough for the deposition of fine grain-size sediments of reduced specific yield. Spillways by stages according to the most probable flood SDs accumulating silty and clayey alluvium sediments during poor rainfall years and droughts. High spillways in one stage systematic accumulation of large volumes of fine grain-size sediments low performance and cost-efficiency
62 Practical recommendations: Naturally deep layers of sand sediments and/or alluvial aquifers
63 Practical recommendations: Increase storage capacity Clear relationship between the capacity of a dam and the spillway height. Direct impact on the construction costs and costefficiency, technical complexity and the robustness of the structure Need to take into account other relevant factors: - The slope of the riverbed and its effect on the throwback - The texture and depth of the sediments of the original riverbed free sand storage capacity and robustness to evaporation Higher specificity of suitable sites Lower replicability and transfer potential
64 Practical recommendations: Other alternatives Other rainwater harvesting storage technologies may show higher levels of performance and/or cost-efficiency Sub-surface dams, earth dams, ponds, etc.
