Introduction In the foreword to the Malaysian Guidelines for Operation, Maintenance and Surveillance of Dams (Malaysian Inter-Departmental Committee on Dam Safety 1989), it is stated “The expanding inventory of dams has brought into focus the subject of dam safety”. At the time of the guideline publication, there had been a considerable increase in the inventory of dams with those constructed d...

A survey conducted near a dam-site on the Paraguay-Argentine border showed the area to be highly endemic for Chagas’ disease. It also showed that new housing unsuited to the disease vector’s prol$eration did not eliminate the prob/em, indicating a strong need for health education capable of guiding people away from traditional behavior patterm tending to encourage the vector and cause infection.

Water conflicts arise from geostrategic factors that hide behind visible ones such as the construction of dams. In case Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), it will have a significant impact on development in Ethiopia, but its filling has worried downstream countries about altering flow Nile and associated ecosystems. this study, several high spatiotemporal resolution remote sensing products...

Abstract Tires waste is an undesirable urban industry surplus that has grown worldwide yearly. Because of its seals, this material may be used in earth dams, one option for disposing waste. Since the main objective study, experiment on a soil sample with various ratios rubber powder been conducted to better comprehend impact tire (TRP) seepage rate earthen dams. This study physical and numerica...

Supplying power to remote areas may be a challenge, even for those communities already connected to the main grid. Power is often transmitted from long distances, under adverse weather conditions, and with aged equipment. As a rule, modernizing grid infrastructure in such areas to make it more resilient faces certain financial limitations. Local distribution may face stability issues and disrup...

abstract spacing between check dams depends on the stream bed slope, effective height of check dams and slope of deposited sediments behind the check dams. the slope of deposited sediments is more important than the other two factors because of complications in the way of its occurrence and its measurement after several years of dam construction. this research presents the effective factors aff...
