Abstract :Analysis and estimation of seepage discharge in dams is presented in this paper. First of all the continuity Laplace equation is solved for a dam and piezometric head are computed under the dam. Based on piezometric head data values of seepage discharge of dam are obtained for different conditions. After that a procedure for estimation of seepage discharge under a diversion dam using feed forward multi layer perceptron artificial neural network is presented. Neural network are trained based on pizometric head data for seepage discharge estimation in different conditions and its test results are compared with actual data. Finally it is observed that estimated seepage discharges are in good agreement with actual resultsKeywords : Seepage Discharge, Dams, Analysis, Estimation, Laplace Equation
