New tanks are constructed to provide water for multipurpose irrigation purpose.
Tanks and reservoirs require very careful planning, design and operation for which certain
observations relating to selection of site, relative merits of different types of tanks, storage
capacity, optimum yield, coordinated uses of storage for different purposes etc., are to be
studied in detail. The irrigation reservoir is primarily meant to store the excess water during
the period of large supply and release it gradually for irrigation as and when required .A
scheme of this type of formation of new tank near has been taken up as project Work as per
the university regulations. The proposed site across the stream called Thittahalli.
1.2 RESERVOIRS
When a barrier or dam is constructed across, water gets stored on the upstream side of
the barrier is called dam or reservoir. Water is stored in the reservoir during rainy season can
One set of levels is taken along the course of the tank on the upstream and another set at right
angle to it at the widest region and counters are interpolated.
The F T L counter is traced directly and cross section at suitable intervals are taken across
this until F T L on the other side is reached. The lowest point of main valley is met and the
contours’ are interpolated .The entire water spread is covered by block levelling and any
number of contours is interpolated.
Of the above three methods the third method is most accurate but it is tedious. Any of the
above methods may be adopted depending upon the degree of the accuracy required and the
size of the project.

If A1,A2,A3…..An, are the areas of successive contours , H being the contour interval , then
by prismoidal rule. The storage capacity can be calculated . Using prismoidal rule
