Reservoir Water tightness Check

Reservoir Water tightness Check

Reservoir Water tightness Check

(OP)
Hi,

I am involved in a project wth a large reservoir in a waste treatment facility. We are in the construction phase, and would like to know methods to test water tightness of the reservoir since time is an issue.

We are considering filling the reservoir with water up to a certain level and monitor the losses... if we detect a certain leak, we would let the water settle just below the leak point, to determine were the leak is.

Any other methods_ thankyou

Regards

RE: Reservoir Water tightness Check

We conduct water balance tests following procedures determined by Jay Ham. The following link is to the ASABE paper. If you search long enough you can find the research paper online.
