Central Soil & Materials Research Station, New Delhi This Research Station, earlier known as Central Soil Mechanics and Concrete Research Station had conducted studies with chemical WER for a period about eight years from 1958 to 1966 on Badkhal Tank, Haryana; Takhat Sagar Maota and Sagar tanks, Rajasthan and Mir Alam tank, A.P. The chemicals used were mostly Cetyl or Cetyl Stearyl alcohol and were dispense in the solution or emulsion form. As a trial, powder form of WER was also used. Mineral turpentine as a solvent and indicator oils having film pressure in the range of 11 to 40 dyne/cm were used. A film pressure of 24 dyne/cm is reported to have been maintained at these sites. Meteorological observations like temperature, wind direction, wind velocity were regularly observed during the studies. A contour survey of the tanks was also undertaken to know the quantity of stored water. Besides, gauges were fixed in different parts of the tank to record water level. Pan evaporimeters were also installed at the site. The details of water spread area, period of study, methodology of application and percentage evaporation reduction achieved in each study are given in Table 7.2. 43 TABLE 7.2 Studies conducted by Central Soil and Materials Research Station, New Delhi S.
