The evolutions of practices of seismic slope stability analysis of earth embankment/dam are discussed in this paper. The basic concepts of various methods, salient features, advantages and limitations of each of them are elucidate. Methods for both stability analysis and deformation calculation are presented. Methods for calculation of deformation of post liquefaction stage are also briefed.

Yezin Dam is a man-made reservoir located close to village in Myanmar. Its water used for irrigation, domestic purposes and as drinking many urban communities the watershed area. In recent years, increased pollution due concurrent development around dam has led quality deterioration. No detailed study on distribution of cyanobacteria toxin production been conducted so far. order provide insight...

Abstract Background Energy is the main requirement for economic growth in any country and supports modern economy. The energy sector considered a vital element developing countries because it meets needs. This article addresses production of electricity using small hydroelectric power plants rural applications. objective this study was to assess potential Ribb dam plants. flow very important hy...

In this study, the concentrations of Zn and Cr in downstream waters from Uzunçayır Dam (Tunceli, Turkey) were monitored during spring (March, April, May) and summer (June, July, August) season. Zinc and Cr concentrations in surface water samples were detected using the ICP-MS device. According to the data obtained the lowest Zn and Cr concentrations in the spring season were 65.43±3.2 μg/L in M...

World electricity production today is heavily dependent on water resources. Studies have shown that global warming and climate changes will have significant impacts on available water resources to produce hydroelectric power. Considering that the reservoir dam in the catchment area of Dez is simultaneously a producer of hydropower and supplier of water needed for agricultural land, the aim of t...

Discharge of untreated wastewater is one the major problems in various countries. The use azo dyes textile industries are key xenobiotic compounds which effect both soil and water ecosystems result drastic on microbial communities. Orathupalayam dam, constructed over Noyyal river Tamil Nadu, India has become a sink from nearby industries. present study had aimed to characterize bacterial divers...

With the continuing pressure on Australia’s water resources and interand intra-annual rainfall variability, farmers, especially in rainfed agricultural and pastoral zones, have been developing farm dams as a mean of providing additional water sources for irrigation and stock. The density of farm dams has increased over time, and an accurate knowledge of the spatial distribution of farm dams is ...

abstract one of the problems in design of irrigation structures is sedimentation control in the inlet to the irrigation networks. water quality for agriculture requires that the sediments be controlled and reduced to the permissible limit at their entrance point to the turnouts and irrigation networks. this is possible by constructing a sedimentation basin. the bigger the basin, the best the re...
