When the Elwha Dam was demolished it was the largest controlled sediment release in a dam removal project anywhere in the world. Because of the amount of sediment behind large dams like the Elwha‚ the demolition must be done gradually over time to ensure that there is not an overflow of sediment rushed down the river which could cause significant damage to the landscape and the organisms which inhabit it. At the time of the dam removal the Elwha was holding behind it 15‚000‚000 cubic yards of silt

Kalabagh Dam: the question of alternatives THE rush to build the Kalabagh dam is taking General Musharraf and many of his supporters‚ including some born-again superpatriots‚ to heights of irrationality. As if the doctrine of necessity‚ which has provided the alibi for all military coups since the original one of Ayub Khan‚ was not enough‚ a new and much more sinister doctrine‚ that of indispensability‚ is being promoted. Its purpose is to justify the indefinite continuation of the present

CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION WATERSHEDS A watershed is a basin-like landform defined by highpoints and ridgelines that descend into lower elevations and stream valleys. A watershed carries water "shed" from the land after rain falls and snow melts. Drop by drop‚ water is channeled into soils‚ groundwater‚ creeks‚ and streams‚ making its way to larger rivers and eventually the sea. Water is a universal solvent‚ affected by all that it comes in contact with: the land it traverses‚ and the soils through

Myanmar to give into the demands of the dam project that will primarily benefit China and Thailand‚ promising minimal financial compensation for Myanmar. Even if this compensations comes to fruition it is still nowhere near enough to get the country into a healthy state of living and does not make up for the citizens who have already been displaced by the construction of the Mobeye dam and the flooding. While the president has managed to currently halt the dam process the question is will the project

The Hoover Dam does more than attract tourist‚ it provides power to 8 million people (32). Instead of using a heat source to create steam to turn a turbine like most power plants‚ hydroelectric plants use the natural flow of water and divert it through a turbine via a dam. The estimated available hydro energy in the United States‚ discounting wilderness preserves and the likes‚ is 65 gigawatts. One significant advantage of hydroelectric power in the U.S. is that there are existing dams across the

In my opinion i believe the Three Gorges Dam is a success‚ simply because of the millions of lives it will save‚ by flood control. Having said that‚ the Three Gorges Dam does have many negative aspects. The Three Gorges Dam is a hydroelectric dam that spans the Yangtze river in Sandouping‚ Hubei province‚ China. It is the largest hydroelectric power station in the world. Construction began
