concentrations of heavy metals (ni, co, zn, cd, pb and cu) in the reservoir of shahid rajaeidam, one of the main water reservoirs in north part of iran, were determined using a differential pulse polarography(metrohm 797 va) and compared with the national and international specified maximum contaminant levels(mcl) for different purposes of water use. the results showed that concentrations of cd...

sedimentation in reservoirs reduces dams storage and makes many problems in their operation. therefore accurate computation of sediment volume is essential for appropriate design and optimum reservoir management during its operation. in this research long term field data of sefid-rood dam were used to check the sediment volume computed for ghezelozan basin. the computed volume of sediment by ra...

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.

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...

Reservoir operation plays an important role in reservoir management. In operation, water balance calculation is a very step. At present, one of the main challenges that inflow cannot be calculated accurately due to jacking reservoir, which produced by downstream after original course river has changed. Another reason capacity influence dynamic storage capacity. order overcome these problems, th...

reservoir dams are among the main storage systems employed in agriculture for the several past decades. proper operation of these reservoirs is important for irrigation espe-cially in such arid and semi-arid areas like iran, and particularly during dry years. a computational framework for reservoir simulation and flood routing is hereby presented. a key aspect of the reservoir simulation is the...
