When a cloudburst flood hits mountainous regions, it doesn’t just bring water—it also carries huge amounts of soil, rocks, and uprooted trees. One of the most striking effects is seen in dam reservoirs, where floating logs and wooden debris pile up after heavy floods. This natural phenomenon creates serious operational challenges for dam authorities and…
Captured at the Neelum-Jhelum Hydropower Project, this image showcases the dam’s spillway gates and reservoir during sediment flushing operations. The brownish water indicates high sediment flow, a common challenge in hydropower projects, especially in mountainous regions like Kashmir. Key Features: • Radial Spillway Gates: Controlling the water flow with precision. • Sediment Flushing System: Vital…
Dams play a crucial role in managing water resources, generating hydroelectric power, and supporting agricultural irrigation. However, one persistent challenge faced by dam operators is the accumulation of massive floating debris in the reservoirs. This debris often consists of wooden logs, branches, and other natural or man-made materials carried downstream by rivers. Causes of Floating…
