Design of the Month – Hillside Reservoir
Here is an example of how breaklines and battered breaklines can be used in OptiSurface to design a hillside water storage.
Feature of the Month – Reservoir Storage Volume
Overview: Calculates the water volume stored in a given boundary. Best applied to calculate water volume for a given reservoir created in OptiSurface Designer.
Displayed by:Tools > Storage Volume…
Appearance:
Bottom – Select which surface to base the calculations: Existing or Proposed Surface.
Top Water Level (m or ft) – Defines the top water level or the elevation of the crest of the reservoir.
Vertical Calculation Interval (m or ft) – Defines the depth interval which will be used to calculate the Storage Volume Table and the Proposed Storage Depth Map.
Horizontal Calculation Grid Spacing (m or ft) – Defines how far apart the grid points are horizontally for the calculation. Lowering this to 5m or less will result to more accurate volume calculation.
The table shows the results with the given depth interval of 0.2m starting from the lowest point.
Drawing a new boundary for the calculations is highly recommended for accurate calculations and map representation.
Below shows a Proposed Topography with a dam created using breaklines. A new boundary called ‘Dam’ was created for the calculation of Water Storage Volume.
Resulting Map produces the Proposed Storage Depth Map which is best viewed overlapped with the Proposed Topography.
