the 117 year old Mullaperiyar Dam is technically very dangerous calling for de commissioning‚ it is illogical for the people of the area to panic of any imminent danger‚ says the Forum of the Civil Engineering Post Graduate Scholars. A discussion organized by the forum observed that relevant technical parameters are overlooked by even the so called experts. Erroneous factors The Probable Maximum Flood (PMF)‚ an important parameter to evaluate the danger posed by dams arrived for the area is a gross

Although the Three Gorges Dam is somewhat a burden on the Chinese people‚ there are many advantages in constructing the Three Gorges Dam‚ and among them are flood control‚ power generation‚ improved shipping conditions and tourism attractions. The dam will control flooding because; the capacity of Three Gorges Dam flood control reservoir is about 22.15 billion cubic meters‚ which can control the upstream flood efficiently. Even in dire flood situations‚ the dam can automatically control the flow

To what extent is the Three Gorges Dam sustainable? The Three Gorges Dam was built in 2011 on the Yangtze River in an area called Chongqing. It was built to prevent flooding of main industrial areas in China following the major flood in 1998 of the river. The dam is 1.4 miles long and is able to produce 18‚000 MW of electricity. Sustainability is when environment‚ society and economy are all stable and balanced‚ so that progress can be made. The Three Gorges Dam has had a big impact on these areas

The Effects of Dam Construction on the Trinity River Those working in Watershed management know there is little doubt these days that dam construction on our nation’s waterways is having a detrimental effect on rivers and their associated ecosystems. Many of the harmful effects created by dams are not always perceivable to the untrained observer‚ nor can they be observed on a temporal basis since changes to stream morphology may occur over a span of a few years‚ to hundreds and even thousands

Identify the functions of a CSU and DSU. How are they used in a corporate environment? I like to think of a CSU/DSU(Channel service and Data service unit) as something similar to a modem. In general Dial-up or DSL service a modem is required to convert digital signals to analog and vice versa. A CSU/DSU acts in the same way. The CSU/DSU converts the digital data frames that local area networks (LAN) uses into a frame a wide-area network (WAN) uses and just like the modem it will change the frames

In “The Story of Tellico Dam and the Snail Darter Fish”‚ a classic case of environment versus government is illustrated. It describes the process in which the Endangered Species Act was passed by Congress in 1973 to bring awareness of species that are on the verge of being extinct and work towards improving their condition. Specifically‚ this policy states that the “government agencies must do everything it can to protect the animal from extinction.” However‚ not too long after the Act was passed

Cause and Effect of Volcanoes Any natural opening in the Earth’s crust‚ called a fissure‚ where melted rock‚ ash‚ gases‚ and steam come out is called a volcano. Volcanoes look like mountains‚ but they are really flat land that is pushed upward because of the pressure below the earth. The pressure comes from hot magma and gases that build up below the earth’s surface and that work up to the surface through cracks in the earth’s plates. As it is forced up to the surface‚ the gases and magma push
