dam reservoirs supplies water resources for drinking, agriculture, and industry almost in all parts of iran. lack of proper utilization rules and unbalanced demands versus available water has led to many problems regarding to ineffective use of the water resources. precipitation and flow rate are stochastic phenomena. therefore, multi-step processes related to the water use efficiency should be...

Reservoir sedimentation is a worldwide problem affecting sustainable storage use as well as sediment transport downstream of dams. Various techniques are applied for sediment mitigation, among which, venting of turbidity currents. This paper reviews, discusses and evaluates venting of turbidity currents based on an experimental approach. Data acquisition during the tests is accomplished using f...

dam reservoirs supply potable, agricultural, and industrial water in most cities of iran. due to lack of proper operational rules or unbalanced demand versus water resources volume, (along operating time) correction in operational rules is required to fulfill current situations. hence the goal of this study is to optimize the qeshlaq dam reservoir operation rules to maximize the water release f...

the karkheh dam reservoir with a capacity of more than 5 billion cubic meter is the largest dam in iran with both agricultural and drinking usages. its hydrodynamics and water quality were modeled and simulated to analyze the total maximum daily load (tmdl) of total dissolved solids (tds). the simulation was supported with measurements of temperature and tds measurements during two years. a lat...

Leakage is the most serious problem in reservoir operation, because heavy leakage influences impoundment efficiency and even leads to a complete loss of functions. Since its completion 1982, Qionglin Reservoir has never been fully filled with water except spring 1983 when there was rain. The management unit suspected that side slopes, bottom or dam might leak carried out number prevention impro...

The global expansion of energy demands combined with abundant rainfall, large water volumes and high flow in tropical rivers have led to an unprecedented expansion of dam constructions in the Amazon. This expansion generates an urgent need for refined approaches to river management; specifically a move away from decision-making governed by overly generalized guidelines. For the first time we qu...

density or gravity currents have been always one of the main causes for sedimentation along many of the dam reservoirs. so controlling this phenomenon is very important for increasing useful life of such reservoirs. in this research study the effect of a combination of rough bed and obstacle on the control of sedimentary density current has been investigated. experiments were conducted in a til...

The Study of river water quality interation with lakes and dam reservoirs is important from anexploitation point of view. When river water with different densities enters a lake or dam reservoir,underflow density current phenomenon occurs. Because of the density, so understandingdifferent arrays of this phenomenon Seems necessary for checking erosion and sedimentationprocesses and their managem...

There are various evaluation methods available for the discharge rate passing from the body of dam 1) Analytical methods, 2) Numerical methods and 3) Experimental methods. In the initial stages of dam design, it is necessary to approximately calculate the seepage and board of the project. In this research, almost 600 geometric models have been considered for embankment dam with clay core which ...
