The Janneh dam is a 162-meter high Roller Compacted Concrete arch-gravity dam under construction in the Nahr Ibrahim Valley of Lebanon. The impounded reservoir will supply water, irrigate agricultural areas and generate hydropower [1]. The dam will serve the Northern areas of Greater Beirut Mount Lebanon [2]. The project site is located in highseismicity region. The Peak Ground Accelerations ar...

The Indirasagar Dam (Punasa Dam) is a multipurpose key project of Madhya Pradesh on the Narmada river at Nagar in Khandwa (Tehsil West Nimar district) India.The physical and chemical properties water including temperature, pH, transparency, dissolved oxygen, biological oxygen demand, hardness, nitrate, calcium phosphorus concentration, were monitored from October 2018 to September 2019. paramet...

Given the opportunities offered by foreign investment in energy infrastructure mostly by Chinese firms, the Government of Cambodia is giving high priority to developing hydropower resources for reducing energy poverty and powering economic growth. Using a “Political ecology of the Asian drivers” framework, this paper assesses China’s involvement in the development of large dams’ in Cambodia and...

This paper proposes the use of predictive optimal control as a suitable methodology to manage efficiently transport water networks. The predictive optimal controller is implemented using MPC control techniques. The Arrêt-Darré/Arros dam-river system located in the Southwest region of France is proposed as case study. A high-fidelity dynamic simulator based on the full Saint-Venant equations and...

Proposed dam construction in the Lower Mekong Basin will considerably reduce fish catch and place heightened demands on the resources necessary to replace lost protein and calories. Additional land and water required to replace lost fish protein with livestock products are modelled using land and water footprint methods. Two main scenarios cover projections of these increased demands and enable...

Leakage is a major safety issue that, if left unchecked, may result in dam failure by various mechanisms. There is enormous pressure on dam operators to repair leaks without significant delays. Frequently, the need to reduce the risk of failure or control water loss has led to costly remedial repairs that are planned and executed without a complete understanding of the problem. A lack of approp...

The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that more recently developed rubber dam systems (OptraDam ® Plus and OptiDam™) are faster and easier to handle, and that the quality of isolation is not decreased. The rubber dam systems were applied in standard conditions on a dental simulator in several model clinical situations. The time of preparation, application and removal were measure...

abstract regarding temporal variation of rivers discharge and demands, for suitable use of dam reservoirs stored water, application of operation rule curves is necessary. operation rules are expressed with rule curves. application of yield model is one of the methods of operation curve preparation, which correlates reservoir operation with reservoir storage volume in first period. in this study...
