🌊 Hydropower Engineering in Action: Dam Spillway and Reservoir Operations

by

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

The Problem of Massive Floating Debris in Dam Reservoirs

by

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 … Read more
