In spite of the fact that the effect of earthquake on earth dams has been widely studied during the past decades, the complicated behavior of such earth structures against different seismological characteristics is still unknown. Such ambiguities necessitate more accurate studies using more comprehensive computation tools to achieve new results describing the behavior of such structures subject...

Investment in the small-scale enhancement of groundwater recharge through check dams and other structures rural India is on order USD 1 billion/year. However, for any catchment, optimal capacity unknown, impacts downstream flows are rarely determined. This paper describes a method that can be applied to plan augmentation catchments have at least one monitored dam. It was Dharta catchment Araval...

Abstract Understanding the processes governing lateral terrestrial organic carbon transfer is confounded by fact that deposits on land have not yet been fully explored. Despite recent advances in understanding deposition aquatic ecosystems, burial of dry depositional environments remains unclear. Here, combining large-scale field surveys and remote sensing techniques, we provide a robust estima...

Check dams are used in gullies to prevent vertical downcutting of the thalweg. built as log crib structures common steep creeks prone floods or debris floods. Recent experience with performance check subject flow loadings is less common, those often made from reinforced concrete, steel masonry. This paper summarizes our six a gully at East Gate Landslide, between Revelstoke and Golden, BC, Cana...

There has been renewed interest in the performance, functionality, and sustainability of traditional small-scale storage interventions (check dams, farm bunds tanks) used within semi-arid regions for improvement local water security landscape preservation. The Central Groundwater Board India is encouraging construction such alleviation scarcity to improve groundwater recharge. It important reso...
