Low dams was originally published in 1938, and is a treasure-trove of information for the farmer or rural home owner seeking low cost structures for impoundment of water, and the design and construction of small water storage projects.
The concept of low dams, as covered in this work, includes those structures with heights to the spillway crest not exceeding 30 feet above the natural stream channel. This height is necessarily an arbitrary figure, as the same principles of design would apply to structures of slightly greater heights. Low dams are associated with small streams and drainage areas of limited extent.
This manual provides engineers with information and data necessary for designing such work.
