WHAT IS RIVER DIVERSIONIt is the act of diverting a portion of river
water from the main course to another natural or man-made channel.
![Page 4: 87851009 River Diversion](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5695d3be1a28ab9b029f0192/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
NEED FOR RIVER DIVERSION?For securing a site in the main river
course for construction or repair works of dams, bridges, artificial islands etc
Dam-site, Lower SubansiriGerukamukh, Assam

RIVER DIVERSION FOR CONSTRUCTION OF DAMWe need-Cofferdams- To secure a water tight
construction site
Diversion tunnels- To channel the water from the main river course around the construction site
![Page 8: 87851009 River Diversion](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5695d3be1a28ab9b029f0192/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
COFFERDAMSA cofferdam (also called a coffer) is a
temporary enclosure built within, or in pairs across, a body of water
It is constructed to allow the enclosed area to be pumped out, creating a dry work environment for the major work to proceed.
![Page 9: 87851009 River Diversion](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5695d3be1a28ab9b029f0192/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The word "cofferdam" comes from "coffer" meaning box
![Page 10: 87851009 River Diversion](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5695d3be1a28ab9b029f0192/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
A cofferdam on the Ohio River near Olmsted, Pulaski County, Illinois, USA. The cofferdam was constructed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for the purpose of constructing the Olmstead Lock and Dam on the Ohio River.
![Page 11: 87851009 River Diversion](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5695d3be1a28ab9b029f0192/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
KEY NOTESCofferdams are temporary enclosures to keep
out water and soil so as to permit dewatering and construction of the permanent facility (structure) in the dry.
A cofferdam involves the interaction of the structure, soil, and water. The loads imposed include the hydrostatic forces of the water, as well as the dynamic forces due to currents and waves.
![Page 12: 87851009 River Diversion](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5695d3be1a28ab9b029f0192/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Cofferdams usually deviate from their initial design.
This is because of-Offshore constructionAdversities in the weatherDeformation due to varying loads

BRACED TYPEIt is formed from a single wall of sheet
piling which is driven into the ground to form a “box” around the excavation site.
The box is then braced on the inside and the interior is dewatered. It is primarily used for bridge piers in shallow water (30 - 35 ft
![Page 17: 87851009 River Diversion](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5695d3be1a28ab9b029f0192/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
A Braced type cofferdam
![Page 18: 87851009 River Diversion](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5695d3be1a28ab9b029f0192/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
EARTH TYPEIt is the simplest type of cofferdam. It
consists of an earth bank with a clay core or vertical sheet piling enclosing the excavation.
It is used for low-level waters with low velocity and easily scoured by water rising over the top.
![Page 19: 87851009 River Diversion](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5695d3be1a28ab9b029f0192/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

TIMBER-CRIB TYPEConstructed on land and floated into
place.
Lower portion of each cell is matched with contour of river bed.
![Page 21: 87851009 River Diversion](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5695d3be1a28ab9b029f0192/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

DOUBLE- WALLED SHEET PILE TYPEThey are double wall cofferdams.
Comprises of two parallel rows of sheet piles driven into the ground and connected together by a system of tie rods at one or more levels.
The space between the walls is generally filled with granular material such as sand, gravel or broken rock.
![Page 23: 87851009 River Diversion](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5695d3be1a28ab9b029f0192/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

CELLULAR TYPECellular cofferdams are used only in those
circumstances where the excavation size precludes the use of cross-excavation bracing.
In this case, the cofferdam must be stable by virtue of its own resistance to lateral forces.
![Page 25: 87851009 River Diversion](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5695d3be1a28ab9b029f0192/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

DIVERSION DAMA dam that diverts all or a portion of the
flow of a river from its natural course.
Diversion dams do not generally impound water in a reservoir.
Instead, the water is diverted into an artificial water course or canal, which may be used for other purposes
![Page 31: 87851009 River Diversion](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5695d3be1a28ab9b029f0192/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
The Faraday Diversion Dam, Clackamas River. This dam slows a normally fast and shallow river for partial diversion to a hydroelectric dam.
![Page 32: 87851009 River Diversion](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5695d3be1a28ab9b029f0192/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
The Imperial Dam diverting the Colorado River in the southwestern United States.
![Page 33: 87851009 River Diversion](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5695d3be1a28ab9b029f0192/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
The earliest diversion dam - and the second oldest dam of any kind known - is the Ancient Egyptian Sadd-el-Kafara Dam at Wadi Al-Garawi, located about 25 km south of Cairo.
Built around 2600 BC for flood control, the structure was 102 m long at its base and 87 m wide. It was destroyed by a flood while still under construction.

RIVER FRIENDLY ALTERNATIVES
Infiltration galleries and wells
Screened pipe intakes
Seasonal dams
Consolidated diversions
![Page 35: 87851009 River Diversion](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5695d3be1a28ab9b029f0192/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
INFILTRATION GALLERIES AND WELLS
Are of two types- Vertical wells
Horizontal infiltration galleries
Horizontal infiltration galleries are also known as "Ranney wells.”
![Page 36: 87851009 River Diversion](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5695d3be1a28ab9b029f0192/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Both types typically require pumps to draw water from the stream’s gravel substrate through perforated pipes.
In certain sites, infiltration galleries can function by gravity alone.
![Page 37: 87851009 River Diversion](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5695d3be1a28ab9b029f0192/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
VERTICAL WELLSVertical wells draw water through
perforated pipes placed vertically into the stream or floodplain substrate and water table maintained by the surface flow.
Vertical wells can be located very near the stream or at some distance from the channel, depending on stream conditions.
![Page 38: 87851009 River Diversion](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5695d3be1a28ab9b029f0192/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

INFILTRATION GALLERIESTypical construction of an infiltration
gallery involves placing perforated pipes in the streambed and connecting them to a collection area, or “sump”.
Water seeps into the perforated pipes and flows to the sump where it is pumped out (or flows by gravity) for immediate use or storage.
![Page 40: 87851009 River Diversion](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5695d3be1a28ab9b029f0192/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

ADVANTAGESEliminating the impacts of dams on natural stream dynamics.
Avoiding the risk of fish entrainment.
Reducing the visual impact of the diversion.
![Page 42: 87851009 River Diversion](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5695d3be1a28ab9b029f0192/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
DISADVANTAGESThe perforated pipes gets blocked with fine sediment;
When relying on vertical wells, there is a risk that wells could dewater the stream where the subsurface water is connected to the surface water. Eg in california where groundwater pumping is unregulated.
![Page 43: 87851009 River Diversion](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5695d3be1a28ab9b029f0192/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
SCREENED PIPE INTAKESWater is pumped out of rivers by placing
screened pipes
Screened pipe intakes can safely divert water to a distribution system for immediate use or into a surface or subsurface storage site away from the stream for later use
![Page 44: 87851009 River Diversion](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5695d3be1a28ab9b029f0192/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)

ADVANTAGES
![Page 46: 87851009 River Diversion](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5695d3be1a28ab9b029f0192/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
DISADVANTAGESScreens can be expensive to install and maintain.
![Page 47: 87851009 River Diversion](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5695d3be1a28ab9b029f0192/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
SEASONAL DAMSTemporary structures that can be erected
to store water for immediate or later diversion, or removed to allow flows and (in most cases) fish to pass.
Inflatable dams and flashboard dams (also known as stop log dams) are the most common types of seasonal dams.
![Page 48: 87851009 River Diversion](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5695d3be1a28ab9b029f0192/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)

INFLATABLE DAMSInflatable dams are made of thick,
laminated rubber and nylon tubes that are anchored to a concrete foundation across the streambed.
The tube can be filled automatically or manually with air or water to create a barrier, and subsequently deflated to lie flat on the foundation.
![Page 50: 87851009 River Diversion](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5695d3be1a28ab9b029f0192/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)

FLASHBOARD DAMSFlashboard dams usually involve a concrete
foundation and frame into which boards are inserted to block the stream flow and raise the water level to allow for diversion.
![Page 52: 87851009 River Diversion](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5695d3be1a28ab9b029f0192/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
ADVANTAGESIn certain cases, pools created by temporary dams can provide cool water habitat for species to over-summer in warm streams
![Page 53: 87851009 River Diversion](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5695d3be1a28ab9b029f0192/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
DISADVANTAGESRequires lot of continuous monitoring
Induce erosion of the bed and banks of streams and introduce major fluctuations in water levels upstream of the dam impacting biota, aquatic vegetation and residents
![Page 54: 87851009 River Diversion](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5695d3be1a28ab9b029f0192/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
CONSOLIDATED DIVERSIONSWhen several diversion dams are located
close together on a single stream, it is possible to consolidate the number of diversions to a single diversion point, allowing the elimination of some of the dams.
The concept is known as consolidated diversions
![Page 55: 87851009 River Diversion](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5695d3be1a28ab9b029f0192/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
ADVANTAGESEliminate some or all of the diversion
dams involved, and typically reduces the number of diversions that require screens to prevent fish entrainment.
![Page 56: 87851009 River Diversion](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5695d3be1a28ab9b029f0192/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
DISADVANTAGESIt requires the need to relocate diversion
pipes or canals to the new diversion point, and hence adds to the cost.
