Excellent- More about Hydraulic Engineering of Dams
Hydraulic engineering of dams and their appurtenant structures is essential for designing safe water-retaining reservoirs for hydroelectric power generation, flood retention, and irrigation and water supply demands. This book covers recent developments in research and construction, including overflow, conveyance, dissipations structures, bottom and low-level outlets, intake structures, reservoir sedimentation, impulse waves, and dambreak waves. It is richly illustrated with photographs, figures, and diagrams and includes an extensive literature review and updated bibliography.

Hydraulic engineering plays a crucial role in designing safe water-retaining reservoirs for hydroelectric power generation, flood retention, and irrigation, as well as meeting water supply demands. With the increasing impact of climate change, particularly on dams and reservoirs, these structures will become even more important in mitigating and adapting to meet global water supply, renewable energy, and food needs, as outlined in the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations.
This comprehensive book addresses the major hydraulic aspects of dam engineering, considering recent advancements in research and construction. It covers various topics such as overflow, conveyance, and dissipations structures of spillways, river diversion facilities during construction, bottom and low-level outlets, and intake structures. Additionally, the book delves into reservoir sedimentation, impulse waves, and dambreak waves, which are essential for sustainable and safe reservoir operation.
The book is extensively illustrated with photographs, showcasing the diverse appurtenant structures of dams discussed in each chapter. Figures and diagrams further elucidate important relationships among governing parameters of different phenomena. An extensive literature review and an updated bibliography complement the content, making this book a valuable resource for professionals and researchers in the field of hydraulic engineering and dam construction.
