Overview
• Good intake design requires knowledge of sediment transport and geomorphic patterns.
• This presentation illustrates some basic river patterns associated with instream structures.
• Several examples of intake design based on these principles are presented.

The structure should sustain the transport of coarse materials along the stream, and environmentally-damaging maintenance activities should be avoided.
The structure should sustain a pool of adequate depth in front of the intake, not accumulate sediment and debris.
#2 Sustain Sediment Transport
Structure should not promote bank erosion or other forms of channel instability.
Structure should be structurally sound and not damaged by floods.

Guarantee continuous release of water downstream to sustain minimum instream flows.
Structure should sustain withdrawals under all conditions

Typical Water Supply Intakes
• Consist of low dam which accumulates sediment on upstream side.
• Prone to clogging by coarse sediment following floods
• Can act as migration barriers.

• The natural riffle-pool sequence creates alternating areas of lesser and greater depth.
• It is logical to place intakes in areas that are naturally deep, or where depth can be created by scour.

Strategy #1:Locate intake in natural pool
• Use existing stable scour pool in the river.• Typically results in intake being located at
the exterior of a meander bend.• Should have rock or engineered structure
to insure stability of bankside structures.

Backwater zone: greater depth and lower velocity causes sediment to deposit upstream of obstruction.
Scour zone: plunging flow creates localized erosion, while structure impedes downstream transport of sediment.

Concluding Remarks
• Traditional intake designs are not optimal from either engineering or environmental standpoint.
• Intake design can be greatly improved by understanding river geomorphology,
• Unfortunately, most engineers have very little, if any, understanding of river geomorphic processes.
• There are no standards or guidelines to assist engineers in designing intakes which are best for conditions in Puerto Rico.
