Dam Hydraulics (Paperback, New)

Thousands of dams, essential to populations worldwide, are in need of maintenance and refurbishment within the next decade. The understanding of dam hydraulics and the principles behind them are of huge importance, and this is reflected in the fundamental importance of dams to water supply, irrigation, flood storage, and hydro-electric power generation. This book is intended to educate the reader by presenting the fundamental background knowledge needed to appreciate dam hydraulics, and presenting current design procedures. Illustrated with a wealth of selected figures and photographs to show the state-of-the-art, and possibilities of dam design, this reference work reviews many fundamental topics: overflows, energy dissipation, outlet structures, reservoir sedimentation, waves due to landslides, and dambreak waves.
