The following is an abstract of the re-
ort on the reservoir matter: In COM
liance with resolution to examine
nto the cause of the recent accident at
hc reservoir have found that it is un-
oubtedly the imperfect construction of
he embanknents, and that this acci-
ent is only the precursor Of others, as
, is followed by damages to the main
arthwork. The following are some of
he principles for constructing earthern
as practiced by able hy-
raullcians whose works have stood the
cling tests Of time and wear:
First--The foot or base of the bank
lust be In contact with some sound and
eliable material that will not admit of
ne passage of water.
Second-The earth should be as I'm
ervious as possible, and should be car
led up in layers Of not more than six
lches, each layer to be subject to cart
ge during construction; the bank to
ave, in the center and along its entire
,ngth, puddle core OF sufficient width,
Of clay and gravel, starting ON
n offset trench below the base OF the
This prevents infltration
the waters.
'Third-The decliyity of the slopes
1ould be Of two and one-half horizontal 9
} one vertical, ottener three to one is
wen. II
Fourth--As regards the effiuent pipe, II
le only safe mode in most cases is to I
" it in a stone culvert, passing under III
le embankment, of sufficient dimen-
ons to permit access to every pipe and
int.
Fifth-Under drainage should be the
,st resort. The water from the neigh
)ring hills around the reservoir should | ,
} passed around the basin in open exca- 4,
ated drains. s
Sixth-The rainfall ought not to be ib
srmitted to run over the top surface OF is
