Mtkvari
The document summarizes Georgia's water resources, focusing on the Mtkvari River. It notes that the Mtkvari is Georgia's largest river, flowing through several major cities before exiting into the Caspian Sea. However, the river faces severe pollution problems from untreated municipal and industrial waste. There are concerns that a proposed Turkish dam project could alter the river's flow and impact water levels in Georgia. Protecting transboundary rivers like the Mtkvari from pollution and other threats is important for the environment and economies of Georgia and Azerbaijan.
Lyapichev. Problems of initial construction of Rogun dam & HPP
The company contracted to build the Rogun Dam has not agreed to install equipment for the hydropower plant (HPP) and a new contractor is needed. Safety recommendations require guarantees like additional tunnels before closure of the river can occur. The dam is located in a seismic zone on salt layers, so its 1960s design raises questions. Downstream countries doubt claims that the project benefits them, as the reservoir could damage ecology and undermine balance further after the Aral Sea shrank. Uzbekistan's new president strongly objects to construction on transboundary rivers without assessing environmental impacts, and increased glacial melting from climate change within decades may lower river flows contrary to the outdated HPP design.

Waterful places of kavala
Kamares was an arched aqueduct constructed in the Ottoman period that transported water from the mountains to the formerly dry peninsula of Panagia and the town of Kavala. It was a major technical feat that transformed the development of Kavala. In the 1930s, additional water sources were tapped to address water scarcity, and the aqueduct ceased functioning in the mid-20th century, though it remains a landmark in the town. The water trail connecting Kavala to its water sources is an important and scenic path that combines historical and cultural elements along its 10.5 kilometer route.
The first watering system in murcia
The irrigation systems in Murcia originated with the Romans and Visigoths, who built ditches, wells, and water tanks. The Arabs expanded the system by inventing the azud, which formed pools to divert water along canals. This main canal, the Contraparada azud, had many branching secondary canals. Over time, wheels and watermills were added to lift water to higher elevations. Later, streams, dams, seawalls, and ramblas (drainage channels) were constructed to control flooding. Groundwater was also extracted through wells. Modern transfers like the Tajo-Segura and desalination plants now supplement the traditional irrigation infrastructure.

John day dam
The John Day Dam spans the Columbia River between Oregon and Washington. It features a navigation lock that allows boats to pass through, raising and lowering them up to 110 feet. The dam creates Lake Umatilla and blocks 76 miles of the river. It began operating in 1968 and generates up to 2,480 megawatts of hydroelectric power using 16 turbines.
Dam PPT
Dams are solid barriers constructed across rivers to store flowing water for uses like drinking water, irrigation, hydropower, flood control and recreation. The main purposes of dams worldwide are irrigation (48.6%), hydropower (17.4%), and water supply (12.7%). A dam has a dam body, reservoir, spillway, intake structures and may include a sluiceway or diversion facilities. Dams are classified by size, height, and structural design, with the main types being gravity dams, arch dams, buttress dams, embankment dams and composite dams. While dams provide benefits like food and energy, they can also cause issues like flooding, disruption of ecosystems and communities.
DAMS
Dams are solid barriers constructed across rivers to store flowing water for uses like drinking water, irrigation, hydropower, flood control and recreation. The main parts of a dam include the dam body, reservoir, spillway and water intake structures. Dams are classified based on their size, height and structural design. The most common types are gravity dams, arch dams, buttress dams and earth/embankment dams. While dams provide many benefits like irrigation, energy and flood control, they can also cause issues like flooding, disruption of ecosystems and communities, and high construction costs.
Lake Caliraya in Laguna
Lake Caliraya is an artificial lake located in Laguna province, Philippines, created in 1939 by the construction of Caliraya Dam across the Caliraya River. The lake serves as a reservoir for hydroelectric power plants and has become a popular recreational area. Issues have included squatters occupying the land around the lake and threats from insurgent groups, but development of resorts and facilities has continued and property values remain high.
The Central Valley Project Slideshow: Building California
The document provides an overview of the Central Valley Project (CVP) in California, which is the largest water project in the state. It describes the key facilities and operations of the CVP, which spans 400 miles from Shasta Dam in the north to Bakersfield in the south. The CVP provides water for irrigation of farmland, households, and hydropower generation. It consists of numerous dams, reservoirs, canals, and other infrastructure that harnesses water from the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers and their tributaries. The CVP coordinates operations with the State Water Project to distribute water supplies across California.
Impact of dams on river
Dams provide benefits like water regulation and power generation but also have negative environmental impacts. They block sediment flow and change water quality, quantity, and temperature downstream. This disrupts the local river ecology and harms fish. Over 40,000 large dams have been constructed worldwide, altering circulation systems. Specific impacts include erosion, siltation of reservoirs, salinization of irrigation water, and disruption of natural cycles that aquatic plants and animals depend on. While dams provide irrigation and flood control, they also submerge land and wildlife habitats.
Hoover dam
The Hoover Dam is a concrete arch-gravity dam located on the Colorado River between the US states of Arizona and Nevada. [1] It was constructed between 1931 and 1936 during the Great Depression. [2] Some of the major engineering challenges in constructing the Hoover Dam included pouring over 4.36 million cubic yards of concrete, diverting the river during construction using tunnels, and removing loose rocks from the canyon. [3] The dam provides benefits like electricity, water supply, and flood control, but also has negative environmental impacts such as releasing methane and lowering the river bed.

Hoover Dam Tour
The Hoover Dam was constructed between 1931-1936 under the Hoover administration. It provided employment for thousands of Americans during the Great Depression. The dam created Lake Mead and generates hydroelectric power by transporting 90,000 gallons of water per second through its generators to supply water and power to surrounding states. However, scientists have noted that due to global warming, the water supply from the dam and nearby reservoirs has decreased by half since 2007, which could impact future water demands if the trend continues.
Drainage in New Orleans
Drainage has long been a major concern in New Orleans due to much of the city being below sea level. The city built levees to prevent flooding from the Mississippi River and Lake Pontchartrain, but this also prevented drainage of rainfall. Hurricane Katrina in 2005 caused catastrophic flooding when levees and floodwalls failed in multiple locations, submerging 80% of the city under water. Since then, efforts have focused on repairing and improving the drainage system and flood protections to prevent a similar disaster from occurring again.

From Imperial Dam to the Salton Sea: The story of Imperial Valley's water
The Imperial Dam diverts about 90% of the Colorado River's water that reaches it, averaging 5.5 million acre-feet per year. More than half of this water irrigates nearly 500,000 acres of farmland in California's Imperial Valley, while the rest serves areas in Arizona and California. The dam and the All-American Canal system deliver a reliable water supply to the region while three large desilting basins settle sediment out of the water before it enters the canal. The Imperial Irrigation District operates and maintains this infrastructure to provide water for agriculture in the Imperial Valley and sustain flows towards Mexico.
CALIFORNIA’S LEVEE EVALUATIONS PROGRAM
The document summarizes California's Levee Evaluations Program which is evaluating over 2,100 miles of levees in the Central Valley Flood Control System. The program is conducting geotechnical exploration, testing and analysis of levees protecting urban areas on a fast-track basis, while evaluations of non-urban levees are being done through a risk-based approach. The evaluations will inform plans and projects to improve flood protection in the Central Valley, which faces major flood risks and relies on an aging system of levees for protection of cities, farmland and infrastructure.
Dams by Luke Camilleri, 3.01
Dams are barriers that impound water or underground streams. They retain water and generate hydropower. The Aswan High Dam in Egypt confines the Nile River and generates hydroelectric power. It flooded areas upstream and displaced many people when constructed. The Three Gorges Dam in China is the world's largest hydroelectric dam and produces significant power but flooded cultural sites and displaced over 1 million people.

Va milestone
Virginia has made progress in improving water quality but still has work to do to meet long-term goals. It has met milestones for wastewater treatment reductions and stream fencing but fallen short on practices like forest buffers and conservation tillage. While wastewater treatment improvements have largely driven reductions so far, all sectors must accelerate efforts for Virginia to achieve the 2025 goal of restoring the Chesapeake Bay watershed to balance. Continued investment and strengthened programs are needed to reduce nitrogen, phosphorus and sediment pollution from urban and agricultural runoff.
Wva milestone
West Virginia's progress toward clean water goals set by the Chesapeake Bay Blueprint is mixed. The state achieved milestones in 2013 for forest buffers and upgrading wastewater treatment plants but fell behind on goals for agricultural practices like nutrient management and stream fencing. While investments and improvements are benefiting local waterways, the Chesapeake Bay watershed remains polluted by excess nitrogen, phosphorus and sediment from urban and farm runoff. West Virginia must bolster efforts to implement agricultural practices and address growing pollution from urban areas to stay on track for its 2017 and 2025 clean water targets.

It finds that Pennsylvania achieved its 2013 goals for four out of eight practices but is not on track to meet longer-term 2017 and 2025 goals, particularly for establishing forested stream buffers and conservation plans. Continued declines in practices like nutrient management and conservation tillage are concerning given their importance for reducing agricultural runoff. Accelerated implementation of practices across agriculture, urban/suburban areas, and wastewater treatment will be needed to improve water quality in Pennsylvania and the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
Md milestone
Maryland has exceeded its 2013 milestone goals for five out of seven key pollution-reduction practices examined in the report. However, the organizations believe Maryland should set more ambitious goals for practices like forest buffers and animal waste management systems to achieve needed reductions. While progress has been made, increased implementation is still needed for many practices like urban forest buffers and animal waste management to reach 2017 and 2025 goals.
De milestones
Delaware achieved its 2013 goals for four of the seven pollution-reduction practices evaluated, including cover crops and urban tree planting. However, it failed to meet goals for animal waste management, grass buffers, and septic connections. While progress has been made through funding, partnerships, and regulations, Delaware will need to accelerate efforts like wetland restoration and increase funding through initiatives like the Governor's clean water plan to achieve its long-term pollution reduction goals by 2025.
Dc milestone
Washington D.C. has made progress in reducing water pollution but still has work to do to meet long-term goals. It exceeded targets for urban tree planting, impervious surface reduction, and stormwater infiltration practices, but failed to meet milestones for urban stream restoration. Additionally, pollution reductions from urban runoff need to accelerate to achieve nitrogen and phosphorus reduction targets. D.C. leaders are called on to strengthen commitments to clean water plans and pollution reduction efforts.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data Warehouse
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.
