Water is a natural resource that exists on the surface of the earth in abundance, water is very useful for the daily needs of mankind. Water can come from springs, ground water, and it can also come from infiltration wells. In order to be used properly, large amounts of water need to be stored in a container such as a dam or reservoir. Because otherwise the water will be wasted and cannot be used for daily life.
To maintain the safety of the condition of the dam or reservoir it is necessary dam monitoring system, This system uses instruments such as piezometers, inclinometers, extensometers and other instruments. The instrument can generate real-time data about the condition of dam parameters such as.
– Soil pore water pressure
– High water level
– Weather conditions
The Benefits of Using Instruments in Dam Monitoring
Installation of instruments on the dam is very important, because it can be useful as:
- Analytical estimation of dam safety.
- Long-term behavior forecast.
- Legal evaluation (legal aspect).
- Development, and verification for future designs.
Installation of the instrument must be handled by a team that is supported by adequate facilities and funds. Officers must be properly trained, so that they understand the duties and functions of the installed instruments, because errors in processing data can cause errors in evaluation and analysis. Instruments must always be maintained and calibrated on a regular basis, in order to function properly.
Instruments in Dam Monitoring System
To find out data related to the condition of the dam, the following instruments are used:
Piezometer
Installation of the instrument must be handled by a team that is supported by adequate facilities and funds. Officers must be properly trained, so that they understand the duties and functions of the installed instruments, because errors in processing data can cause errors in evaluation and analysis. Instruments must always be maintained and calibrated on a regular basis, in order to function properly.
Piezometer is a tool that has a function to measure pore water pressure and groundwater level. In addition, the piezometer can also function to determine slope stability, design for lateral stresses and evaluate the effectiveness of drainage.
Inclinometer
Inclinometer adalah alat yang berfungsi untuk membaca pergerakan tanah (kemiringan tanah), biasanya inclinometer dipasang di dalam pipa inclino dengan kriteria panjang tertentu, pipa inclinometer dapat melindungi instrument inclinometer saat ditanam didalam tanah.
Extensometer
Extensometer adalah alat geoteknik yang memiliki fungsi untuk mengatur pergeseran tanah pada permukaan, terutama tanah yang rawan longsor. Probe extensometer digunakan untuk monitoring besaran deformasi vertikal dari tubuh atau pondasi bendungan urugan dan tanggul.
