Dams, Dams and More Dams: Issues in Evaluating Business Cases for Dam Expansion in Australia
Environmental Research Communications, 2023 Abstract Conventional interventions for mitigating flood risk and increasing water security often focus on large-scale engineering solutions despite evidence of significant cost overruns and negative environmental impacts. This study is an example of participatory research in water economics, motivated (and requested) by concerns from ...

GeoHumanities, 2021 [EN] Over the last five decades, Italy has invested in the construction of public works as the core strategy to dynamize its less favoured regions; however, due to multiple and inherent dysfunctionalities, many of these remain half-built and abandoned today. The group of artists Alterazioni Video refer to this phenomenon as “Incompiuto” (“Incompletion”

Dam Safety: Use of Instrumentation in Dams
Journal of Earth Sciences and Geotechnical Engineering, 2020 Dam safety concerns do not stop at site selection, or the design and construction stages of a dam, but continue throughout its whole life. Seeing to safety issues of any dam is done by following up its behavior through visual observation supplemented and enriched by data collection from all the devices installed on or implanted in a dam to follow its ...

Mosul Dam: Is it the Most Dangerous Dam in the World? [PDF]
Geotechnical and Geological Engineering, 2020 AbstractMosul Dam is an earth fill dam, with a storage capacity of 11.11 km3 constructed on highly karstified gypsum beds alternating with marl and limestone. After impounding in 1986, seepage locations were recognized. The dam situation now indicates that it is in a state of extreme relative risk.
