Chapter 3—Hydraulic Design of <strong>Conduits</strong>Figure 42.—Typical outlet works intake structure.Figure 43.—Typical outlet works terminal structure.The type of intake structure selected should be based on several factors: thefunctions it must serve, the range in reservoir head under which it must operate,the discharge it must handle, the frequency of reservoir drawdown, the trashand debris conditions in the reservoir (which will determine the need for or thefrequency of cleaning of the trashracks), reservoir ice conditions or wave actionthat could affect the stability, and other similar considerations. Depending onits function, an intake structure may be either submerged or extended in theform of a tower above the maximum reservoir water surface. A tower must beprovided if the controls are placed at the intake, or if an operating platform isneeded for trash removal, maintaining and cleaning fishscreens, or installingstoplogs.
