agricultural droughts are droughts that affect the crop production or the ecology of a region. ravar city that is located in margin of desert and the north of kerman province is one of these areas. due to the existence of enough underground water that entrance to desert and high evaporation to improving agricultural and cultivar activities, it needed to study the construction of underground dam...

abstract spacing between check dams depends on the stream bed slope, effective height of check dams and slope of deposited sediments behind the check dams. the slope of deposited sediments is more important than the other two factors because of complications in the way of its occurrence and its measurement after several years of dam construction. this research presents the effective factors aff...

we report engineering experiences from the critical task of relief well installation under high artesian flow conditions at the downstream toe of the karkheh earth dam, iran. due to the establishment of excessive uplift pressure at the downstream toe of the karkheh dam, installation of a series of new relief wells was considered to permanently relieve part of these pressures. the mentioned upli...

Determining the construction areas of retaining wall in order to reduce flooding lands Mehrgerd village due flood flow caused by failure earth dam Ghare Aghach

Concrete temperature control during dam construction (e.g., concrete placement and curing) is important for cracking prevention. In this study, a short-term forecast model mass cooling developed using artificial neural networks (ANN). The development workflow the consists of data integration, preprocessing, construction, application. More than 80 000 monitoring samples are collected by intellig...

In the current study, the applicability of the Annandale method was verified based on the results of silting and sediment distribution measurements carried out in eight small reservoirs, with a capacity that does not exceed 5 million m3. It was found that the application of this method is possible only in the case of small reservoirs, in which the sediment load is deposited in the near-dam zone...

BACKGROUND In this study, we aim to identify key climatic factors that are associated with the transmission of Japanese encephalitis virus in areas located near the Three Gorges Dam, between 1997 and 2008. METHODS We identified three geographical regions of Chongqing, based on their distance from the Three Gorges Dam. Collectively, the three regions consisted of 12 districts from which study ...

The present study explored the interaction between the upriver migration of fish and the blockage of their migration routes by dam construction. Specifically, we studied (i) the capacity of migratory fish to locate alternative routes in the presence of an obstacle, and (ii) the behavior of the fish after they were artificially transferred to the reservoir. With the use of the markrecapture tech...

• Is there a change in the groundwater flow system? If it is the case, could the change have been originated in the dammed water, after the construction and filling of the Yacyreta dykes (dam), given that the period when the increases were registered coincides with the closing of the main branch of the Parana River and the utilization of the derivation channel next to the Northern border of the...
