The International Committee on Large Dams (ICOLD) held its 27th International Congress in Marseille, France (12-19 November 2021). The proceedings of the congress focus on four main questions: 1. Reservoir sedimentation and sustainable development; 2. Safety and risk analysis; 3…
This book discusses recent developments in dam engineering, covering theoretical as well as practical aspects. The chapters provide detailed descriptions of the types, surveys and investigations, layouts, design, thermal stresses and foundation of dams. The differences between v…
1. -- Theformation and development of a dam system in a small watershed in the Loess Plateau --2. --Water and soil conservation by check dam construction --3. --Regulating the effect of a check dam system on sediment redistribution --4. -- Ananalysis of sediment sources and wate…
"This reference book summarizes the current knowledge about check dams as key soil and water conservation structures in some of the most sensitive and vulnerable ecosystems in the world, as exemplified by the Mediterranean area and the Chinese Loess Plateau. Check Dam Constructi…

Water may seem innocuous, but as a universal necessity, it inevitably intersects with politics when it comes to acquisition, control, and associated technologies. While we know a great deal about the socioecological costs and benefits of modern dams, we know far less about their…
