Characterizing the dam break release
The failure of a dam can cause disastrous consequences, thus understanding the nature of a dam break is of utmost importance. A model of a dam break was built and used to profile the resulting wave. The gate release was characterized to check for consistency, maximum velocity, and it's profile. …

SAMPLING AND MODELING OF SEDIMENT TRANSPORT AND RESERVOIR EROSION FOLLOWING DAM REMOVAL: MILLTOWN DAM, MONTANA
… Reservoir after the 2008 removal of Milltown Dam from just downstream of the confluence of the Blackfoot and Clark Fork Rivers, Montana. Mobilized sediments transported as a series of distinct waves and the speed at which the waves moved downstream was dependent upon the grain size of the …

Dam type: maternal effects upon dam reproductive performance, calf mortality to weaning and preweaning growth parameters
Three dam types (straightbred (SB), single cross (2x), three-breed cross (3xX)), located in three Virginia herds (Bland, Hanover, State Farm) were bred to a combination of Angus, Limousin x Shorthorn and Maine Anjou x Shorthorn bulls. Over four calf crop years, 1978-1981, 1040 matings were …

Physical Modelling of Tailings Dam Breach
Tailings dams are constructed in stages, exhibit sediment deposits located in the reservoir upstream of the dam crest (beaches) generated from slurry deposition, and are commonly designed with shallower upstream slopes in contrast with conventional water storage dams. Current breach models for the …

Landsat : water quality surveillance of Roodeplaat Dam
… and chlorophyll ~ and turbidity in Roodeplaat Dam. Surface and integrated chlorophyll a as well as surface and integrated turbidity were collected simultaneously with the satellite's overpass, from 32 sampling sites on the impoundment. Six days, between 81.10 .14 and 82 .11.16, were cloud free …

Estimating farm dam storage using SPOT imagery
… classification was used to identify farm dams and their surface area. Two equations applied to determining the capacity of dams were used to convert surface area to volume. The results showed a similarity between fieldwork and object-oriented classification data for surface area. Overall, …

Potential of selected microalgae in bioremediation of wastewater polluted dam water: A case of Goreangab dam in Windhoek, Namibia
… microalgae in the treatment of polluted dam water with respect to the reduction of pathogen loads, as well as the concentrations of heavy metals and nutrients. Microalgae collected to treat water samples from the Goreangab Dam were collected from the Klein Windhoek River, Avis Dam as well …

Dam dimensions and surface porosity affect the water storage capacity of Beaver dam analogs compared to natural Beaver dams
… My study compares water retention by Beaver Dam Analogs (BDAs) to natural beaver dams and undammed control reaches. I compared how dam dimensions affect the hydraulic performance of both BDAs and beaver dams, revealing gaps in research on their comparative effectiveness. My study was …

The making of a multiple purpose dam : engineering culture, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, and Grand Coulee Dam, 1917-1942
… one of three federal agencies that built dams-constructed over 400. On the Columbia River alone, federal engineers constructed thirteen large dams that turned the nation's fourth largest river into a chain of lakes. Engineers wrought this transformation with multiple purpose dams-a new …

RELIABILITY-BASED MODELING FOR MISSOURI RIVER DAM SYSTEM
Recently, the dam failure types shift from traditional causes (such as system nature of incidents) to operational risk. These failures occur because of unforeseen combinations of usual conditions. Since the operational components have complex internal and external interactions, we take them into an …

Salvaging salmon: Shasta Dam and the conservation movement
<p>The story of the salmon runs of Shasta Dam offers a microcosm for the conservation movement as a whole in the 1930's and 40's, a period that is not yet well studied in US environmental history. It is a time when conservationism was largely a focus of well-off and well-educated people, without …
