Introduction
La Prenza Dam, the main focus of this proposal, has been used as irrigation for the water that flows directly from mountain range of Sierra Madre to support not only for the town of Marilao but also for the adjacent towns of Bocaue and Sta. Maria. It has also served as a recreational and fishing site even to nearby commoners. A lot of stories of love had also happened in this place; but a lot of lives have also been taken away due to the negligence in their part. It is also the 1989 communal irrigation system; serves as a check gate to prevent water overflow from destroying rice crops in the area.
It is also a combination of a gravity-type dam and a spillway. Gravity dams are dams that are constructed to hold back water using only their own weight. To do this, they are constructed using extensive amounts of concrete, making them difficult and expensive to build. A spillway is a section of a dam designed to pass water from the upstream side of a dam to the downstream side. Many spillways have floodgates designed to control the flow through the spillway.
A dam is a barrier that impounds water or underground streams. Dams generally serve the primary purpose of retaining water, while other structures such as floodgates or levees (also known as dikes) are used to manage or prevent water flow into specific land regions. Hydropower and pumped-storage hydroelectricity are often used in conjunction with dams to generate electricity. A dam can also be used to collect water or for storage of water which can be evenly distributed between locations.
