Environmental Fluid Mechanics - Méchanique des Fluides Environnementaux

1st Edition

Edited By CIGB ICOLD
October 28, 2022

Dams are planned, constructed, and operated to meet human needs - generation of energy, irrigated agricultural production, flood control, public and industrial supply, supply of drinking water, and various other purposes. Dams impound water in reservoirs during times of high flood that can be used ...

Dam Safety Management / Gestion de la Sécurité des Barrages: Pre operational phases of the dam life cycle / Phases de conception, construction et mise en service

1st Edition

By Cigb Icold
June 11, 2021

Dam Safety Management is a major concern during the entire lifetime cycle of a dam scheme. This is particularly true for the operational phase of the scheme that represents by far the longest period in its lifetime cycle. Bulletin 154 presented a general approach and concepts to be applied to dam ...
