Good practice is somewhat similar to that for [[sand damsSand dam]].
* Ensure they are not built in an area where water will bypass the structure. Riverbanks should be equal in height and tall enough (height of dam + height of flood +10%), and dam should not be constructed near the bend in a river.
* Site where river is narrower, so that construction is cheaper.
