The selection of a dam site and the type of dam to be built is a crucial decision that is influenced by a variety of factors, including topography, geology and foundation conditions, materials availability, spillway size and location, and potential for earthquakes. Topography is a major factor in the selection of a dam site, as it can impact the type of dam that is most suitable for a particular location. For example, a narrow stream flowing between high, rocky walls may suggest a concrete overflow dam, while low, rolling plains may suggest an earthfill dam with a separate spillway. The location of the spillway is also an important consideration that is heavily influenced by the local topography. Geology and foundation conditions also play a significant role in the selection of a dam site. The geological character and thickness of the strata that will bear the weight of the dam, as well as their inclination, permeability, and relationship to underlying strata, existing faul...
