Dams are among the oldest structures built by humans for collective use. A dam is a barrier that is constructed across a river or stream so the water can be held back or impounded to supply water for drinking or irrigation‚ to control flooding‚ and to generate power. The main kinds of dams are earth fill‚ rock fill‚ concrete gravity‚ concrete arch‚ and arch gravity. The last three types are all made of concrete‚ reinforced concrete‚ or masonry. (The term masonry can mean concrete‚ bricks‚ or blocks

Some increase in earthquakes may occur because of filling of big dam reservoirs. 12. Rise in evaporation loses may be expected as a result of the increase in the water surface area. 13. Microclimatic and even some regional climate changes may be observed related to the changes in air moisture percentage‚ air temperature

and monsoons are big threats to the major water reservoirs in the country (Jose & Cruz‚ 1999). Water is the most essential resource that all living organisms and humans need in order to sustain life. Almost every human activity involves the use of water and this resource is now considered as a scarce commodity. As the demand for water increases‚ competitions over the use of this limited resource also increase (IRI 2013). The Angat Water Reservoir‚ a multipurpose dam located just outside Metro Manila

natural gas industries could do and had much potential‚ and from that point on I knew what I wanted to attend college for‚ PNGE. There are different types of petroleum and natural gas engineers such as Petroleum Geologist‚ Production Engineers‚ Reservoir Engineers‚ and Drilling Engineers. Petroleum Geologist are a little bit different than the other engineers‚ hence they are a geologists. The Petroleum Geologists are the workers who find the hydrocarbon compound which is the main component in petroleum

Thamirabarani River are at 8°35′32″N 77°16′12″E. It flows generally east and enters the Gulf of Mannar of the Bay of Bengal near Punnaikayal. The 40 metre panatheertham waterfalls are located close to the origin of the main river. The Papanasam Reservoir is 16 km downstream. It is fed both by monsoons and by its tributaries. In the year 1992‚ there was an unexpected flood in Thamirabarani‚ which claimed hundreds of lives. The river is mentioned in existing ancient Sangam and Tamil texts.[1] There

Introduction Multilateral-well technology is revolutionizing the way that reservoirs are accessed by wells. The ability to create wells with multiple branches that can target widely spaced reservoir compartments provides engineers unlimited options in optimizing economic extraction of oil and gas. Along with this opportunity comes the inherent complexity of these well architectures. Multilateral Wells is intended to illuminate the most important aspects of multilateral wells in a concise way and
