Hydrology of Spillway Design: Introduction

Eemote sensing applications to hydrology: introduction

This is the first of a proposed series of Special Issues of Hydrological Sciences Journal meant to give state-of-the-art overviews of the sciences covered in the different Commissions and Committees of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences (IAHS). The International Committee for Remote Sensing and Data Transmission (ICRSDT) organized this first Special Issue to cover the curren...

Spillway Escapement of Muskellunge

Many of the quality recreational fishing opportunities in Illinois occur in reservoirs. Fish emigration from reservoirs during periods of overflow is termed “dam” or “spillway escapement.” Escapement can detract from recreational fishing opportunities in the reservoir and can disturb downstream ecosystems by creating an influx of unwanted and/or non-native fish. Previous research on spillway es...

Forest Hydrology in China: Introduction to the Featured Collection

Chinese people have long recognized the importance of forests and water in environment, societal development, and civilization. The philosophical thoughts are well reflected in many ancient paintings and stories that picture the harmony of forests, water, and mountains, and in fact, well-respected Chinese rulers are known for their contributions to harnessing large rivers such as the mighty Yel...

Model Investigations of Stepped Spillway

Stepped block protection has considerable potential as a low-cost method for the construction of chute spillways and the protection of embankments from erosion by overtopping flow. Stepped spillways are structurally stable, resistant to water loads and significantly increase the rate of energy dissipation on the spillway face thus eliminating or greatly reducing the need for a large energy diss...
