, and the construction of hardened access points or reticulation to troughs. It is therefore pertinent to quantify whether the resource costs involved justify the postulated economic benefits , and in particular ...
energy storage while counter-balancing intermittent renewables. However, the construction of new dams comes at significant environmental costs to river ecosystems. An optimal future considers how ...
storage area (748 ha), dam height (69 m), electricity generation (Ave = 25.4 MW, Min =16.23 MW, , Max = 66.5 MW), and flood protection ability were estimated. Finally, cost – benefit analysis (CBA ...
system’s performance from sustainability aspect. For convenience, the term Life Cycle Costs (LCC) is used instead of Economic LCC throughout this paper. First, a fuzzy model is proposed to discount ...
; sedimentation in many reservoirs already limits project benefits and effective project life. Sustainability requires that incoming sediment be moved downstream past the impounding dam . We use Lewis and Clark Lake ...
on an avalanche flow is quantified in terms of local energy dissipation with a simple semi-empirical relation. Costs corresponding to dam construction and the damage to a building situated in the runout zone ...
on 43 landslide dam cases from Japan, Dong et al. defined significant variables influencing stability through discriminant analysis, constructed AHWL and PHWL multiple regression models with strong ...
Beaver dam analogs (BDAs) are a stream restoration technique that is rapidly gaining popularity in the western United States. These low‐ cost , stream‐spanning structures, designed after natural beaver ...
swimming capacity by benefiting from reduced‐velocity zones with lower energetic costs . However, the effectiveness of rough substrates in energy metabolism is rarely tested. We investigated the effect ...
the total net benefit consisting of benefits due to supplying water to different types of water uses and construction costs of dams and water transfer and/or pumping systems. Varying the design ...
