Abstract:
The tank system is quite old and designed to store and distributes water to fulfil the population's diverse requirements. However, the dramatic increase in the world's population has forced people to seek more secure and reliable groundwater resources, such as dug and deep bore wells. In addition, excessive siltation, poor maintenance, and unauthorized encroachment exacerbated the degradation. Hence over the past few decades, a drastic declination in the functionality of tanks has been noticed. Besides many, the storage capacity is considered the prime factor in dictating the functionality of a tank. In light of the current water shortage, it is high time to restore the deteriorating tank system. For rehabilitation, data on the storage capacity of tanks is essential. However, due to their number and negligence, there is a lack of data availability. Therefore, the first challenge is to gather information concerning tank capacities. Traditionally, the capacity is estimated in the field using survey instruments. Later by applying mathematical formulas, the capacity was assessed with minimum field measurements. The estimation has been made easier with almost no fieldwork, thanks to modern technologies like DGPS, Total Station, SONAR, Remote Sensing, and LIDAR. A brief description of various methods for estimating storage capacity is provided in this paper.
