Water Engineering

A discussion of dams and dikes, constituting the proceedings of the Symposium at the Occasion of the World Water Day, 2001. Various speakers presented the benefits and concerns of dams and examined why, in a number of cases and places, people are .....

The assumptions and risks used in the theory of dam design, include such unpredictable events as earthquakes and floods, and geological faults or soft seams. Systematically monitoring the dam’s behaviour from the potential risk stage to the accident event, would allow a hazard-management programme t..

New and improved desalination technologies have significantly broadened opportunities to access major quantities of safe water in many parts of the world. Created in collaboration with the World Health Organization, this book explains the latest developments in desalination, examining the environmen..

This work describes the modern tools available for the detection and prevention of leaks from dams and reservoirs. Numerous case studies are presented, corresponding to studies performed by the authors from more than 30 dams from 18 countries...

Seawater desalination is a coastal-based industry. This book contains a comprehensive evaluation and synthesis of the potential environmental impacts of desalination plants, with emphasis on the marine environment and aspects of energy use, followed by the development of strategies for impact mitiga..

A comprehensive evaluation of potential environmental impacts of desalination plants, this book emphasizes discusses strategies for impact mitigation. The author proposes a best-available technology concept for seawater desalination technologies in combination with a methodological approach for the ..

With contributions by Dutch experts in water defence research, this book opens with an overview of strategy and methodology on sea defences. Technical information on specific aspects like integral design, management and safety, are also included...
