As part of the agreement, an independent foundation will be created to 'address the social, economic and environmental consequences of the dam failure'.

During this drawdown, there was another dam failure, resulting in a massive sediment discharge for several days.

Another dam failure, the third in 75 years, occurred in 2008.

Its failure in 1975 caused more casualties than any other dam failure in history.

The dam failure may trigger further catastrophic processes.

Officials dismissed the first landslides as the foreseeable side-effects of a massive dam project.

An outspoken critic of the dam project, he had led protest marches and road blockades, during which activists had been arrested by the police.

While the dam project has raised the river by 328ft, my 806-mile cruise was still a beguilingly beautiful experience.

Nearly 22,000 families were displaced by the dam project.

The dam project was begun in 1949 and completed in 1955.

The dam removal process was originally projected to last two and a half to three years.

Advocates of dam removal also cite these losses of stored water as reason to decommission the dam.

Human activities also benefited from the dam removal.

Bank erosion and river sedimentation caused by higher turbidity differs considerably from what was experienced for decades prior to dam removal.

After studying several other dam removals, we expect sediment trapped behind the dam to rapidly evacuate and redistribute downstream over a period of several years.

The construction of the dam reservoir, which has a perimeter of 400 km, has turned it into a place of interest.

Afforestation around the catchment area of dam reservoir will help to create another new wildlife sanctuary here in future and recreate lost wild elephant corridor.

Those that fall into the dam reservoir may lead to further catastrophic spillages.

A large cave located in the dam reservoir was home to 1520,000 bats, making it the second largest such colony in the country.

It consists of an inlet chamber on the upstream side of the dam wall in the dam reservoir and a pipe to the downstream side of the dam.

It took four months to move the loads the 1,600 kilometres to the dam site.

Hydroelectricity was produced at the dam site during construction, and used for the manufacturer of cement and other purposes.

Abandoned railroad tracks for transporting heavy equipment to the dam site can be seen along the western shore of the river below the dam.

Construction began in 2008 and the river was diverted around the dam site in 2009.

For such a flashy type of catchment with varying topography, runoff estimates at dam site are an involved process.

The earthen dam was completed in 1957 with a height of, and a length of at its crest.

It was created in 1895 by the construction of an earthen dam.

Completed in 1978, a 71-foot-high earthen dam impounds water for flood control, public recreation, and wildlife conservation.

An earthen dam, approximately 150ft m in length with a 50ft m long concrete spillway, forms the pond.

The first era began in 1890 and ended when the earthen dam collapsed in 1916.

These consist of planks of wood placed across the canal to form a dam.

A total of 398516yd3 m3 of concrete was poured to form a dam standing 226 ft above the riverbed and 344 ft above foundations.

When the meltwater reaches the freezing air, ice accumulates, forming a dam, and snow that melts later can not drain properly through the dam.

During the last deglaciation, numerous glacial lake outburst floods were caused by the collapse of either ice sheets or glaciers that formed the dams of proglacial lakes.

A barrage would operate like a hydroelectric dam to generate electricity, with the water being pushed in by the tide.

If you are setting up a biotechnology company or building a hydroelectric dam, for instance, it may not be for you.

The most ambitious plan, a 10-mile-wide 20 billion barrage, would operate as a hydroelectric dam that could generate 5% of the country's electricity.

They plan to blow up a hydroelectric dam that has caused untold environmental damage.

The wave was also 350m (1,150ft) long with a potential energy equivalent to about 17,000 kilowatts per metre - more power than the world's largest hydroelectric dam.

It found that the most expensive scheme - a hydropower dam - would cost 33 billion.

Flour mills and a hydropower dam were formerly powered by the river.

The lake has a hydropower dam at the southern end of the lake.

Because of this political climate, no groups are actively pursuing the issues surrounding hydropower dams, nor publicly raising concerns about the risks.

The state has 78 hydropower dams.

Talks on an agreement to fill and operate the dam broke down this month, with each side blaming the other and reviving old threats to resort to violence.

Despite problems during the financial panic of 1837, the company continued to operate the dam throughout the 19th century.

In the event of a power outage, this plant can operate the dam's massive spillway gates.
