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 … Read more
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 … Read more
Introduction Dams play a crucial role in water management, hydroelectric power generation, and flood control. However, maintaining their efficiency requires regular inspection and repairs. Recently, one of the radial gates of our dam spillway was opened for an essential maintenance operation, revealing an inside look at the massive steel structure that controls water flow. Why … Read more
