Controlling
the discharge through a gravity dam by means of
sluice gate is quite common technique. Although
extensive theoretical and experimental studies
on discharge parameters are available, most of
these studies reported sedimentation and river
bed conditions resulting in reduced discharge
through a dam, although limited research has
focused on controlling and adjusting the
discharge considering practical scenario. This
study presents a simplified analytical model
applied to a typical case study on a typical dam
in western India which was used the lift
irrigation technique for improving the
discharge. The approach focuses on the
parametric studies for predicting the variations
in discharge ratio employing a range of
geometrical parameters such as area and aspect
ratio of the individual sluice gates and their
total number. It was found that the discharge is
largely affected by minor alteration in these
parameters. A set of important conclusions was
drawn from the entire study.
