INTRODUCTION
FOUNDATIONS
Rock Foundations
Foundations of rock generally do not present any problems of
bearing strength for small darns. Rock foundations should however
be investigated to determine their permeability. If erosive
leakage, excessive uplift pressure or high water losses will occur
through joints, fissures, crevices, permeable strata, or along
fault planes the foundation should be grouted.

EMBANKMENT STABILITY
The slopes of the embankment must be stable during construction,
and under all conditions of reservoir operation, including rapid
drawdown of the water surface. Recommended embankment slopes for
small homogeneous earthfill dams on stable foundations are shown in
Table 2.

EMBANKMENT SEEPAGE
Seepage flow through the embankment must be controlled so that no
internal erosion takes place and so that there is no sloughing in
the area where seepage emerges. Specific forms of seepage control
may vary but would normally take the form of a horizontal blanket
drain or a toe drain. Both types of drain should include a filter
to prevent clogging with eroded fines from the dam. Blanket drains
should extend from the tow of the dam to within H + 1. 5 m of the
dam centreline (H = dam height).
Seepage control drains will nor normally be necessary if the
reservoir will not contain water for any significant length of time
(ie. the phreatic surface will not have time to develop). For
example, flood detention dams would fall into this category.
