  • A suitable site for the spillway should be available in the near point of the vicinity.
  • The general bed level at the dam site should preferably be higher than that of the river basin. This will reduce the height of the dam.
  • Materials required for the construction of dams should be easily available, either locally or in the near vicinity.
  • The value of land and property submerged by the proposed dam should be as low as possible.
