ABSTRACT
Water is an essential requirement for survival of any living being. And it is becoming a scarce resource day by day. Prediction of floods and droughts is very difficult as they are random events and the availability of water varies with time and in space, depending on the season.This calls for an urgent need to conserve it. So in hydrology and water management dams play an important role in creation of reservoirs for irrigation purpose apart from hydropower generation. For small projects the construction of the conventional dams is highly uneconomical and difficult. With this in mind dams made of cheap materials are used for construction purpose across small rivers. One of these materials is rubber and dams are known as Rubber Dams.
