What are the dead water level and dead storage capacity of a reservoir? Feel free to participate actively in the discussions – there are wealth rewards for everyone! ! ! ~
The lowest water level that a reservoir is allowed to reach under normal operating conditions is called the dead water level. The storage capacity below the dead water level is called dead storage capacity.
1. The characteristic water level of a reservoir refers to the water level that reflects the operational status of the reservoir; it serves as the basic basis for determining the dimensions of the main hydraulic structures during the planning and design phase (such as dam height, spillway width, power plant capacity, etc.), as well as for estimating the benefits of the project. The dead water level is the lowest water level that a reservoir is allowed to drop to under normal operating conditions. During the design of the regulating reservoir for the dry-season period, the reservoir water level dropped to the dead level, and the reservoir was emptied. When planning and designing a reservoir, it is necessary to first determine the dead water level; only after that can calculations for operational regulation be carried out to determine the useful storage capacity and the normal water level. Therefore, determining the dead water level is of critical importance. 2. The characteristic storage capacity of a reservoir corresponds to the volume of the reservoir below a certain characteristic water level or between two such characteristic water levels. The main characteristics of a reservoir include dead storage capacity, useful storage capacity (regulation storage capacity), flood control storage capacity, flood regulation storage capacity, overlapping storage capacity, and total storage capacity.
