Levees, dikes and small earth dams: a field overflowing simulator
, 2017 One of the key scenarios of the hazard study is the failure of a river dike following the occurrence of a flood beyond the crest of the structure. It is important to quantify the resistance to overflow. Small-scale laboratory tests are excluded due to the lack of similarity for a free surface flow phenomenon on steep slopes with erosion of a cohesive ...

Numerical simulation of debris flows triggered from the Strug rock fall source area, W Slovenia [PDF]
, 2006 The Strug landslide was triggered in December 2001 as a rockslide, followed by a rock fall. In 2002, about 20 debris flows were registered in the Kosec village; they were initiated in the Strug rock fall source area.

Gold Creek Dam and its Unusual Waste Waterway (1890-1997): Design, Operation, Maintenance [PDF]
, 1998 Completed in 1885, the Gold Creek dam is an earthen dam located on the outskirts of Brisbane, Australia. The spillway system was refurbished three times, each time to increase the maximum overflow capacity.

ReAFFIRM: Real-time Assessment of Flash Flood Impacts: a Regional high-resolution Method [PDF]
, 2020 Flash floods evolve rapidly in time, which poses particular challenges to emergency managers. One way to support decision-making is to complement models that estimate the flash flood hazard (e.g.

Environmental Laws in Nigeria and Occurrence of Some Geohazards: A Review [PDF]
, 2017 Nigeria as a country is blessed with an abundance of both human and natural resources. Exploitation of natural resources in Nigeria over the years with little or no regard for the environment has increased susceptibility of parts of the country to ...

Using temporary water to resupply fresh water (on example Kanaka SCC) [PDF]
, 2013 In boarding houses, located at the mouth of the Kanaka beam (SCC), the problem of provision with fresh drinking water worsened. So far, the provision with drinking water was carried out with water wells from the aquifer at a depth of up to 15

Dams and overtopping: a polyhedral relationship [PDF]
, 2016 This paper discusses the different elements playing a role in causes and consequences of dam overtopping: the river basin, the reservoir, the dam and the spillway, the riverbed and the territory downstream of the reservoir.

Understanding Geotechnical Embankment Washout Due to Overtopping: Insights From Physical Tests
Studia Geotechnica et MechanicaUnderstanding the erosion process of an earth dam and flood embankment composed of noncohesive, homogeneous soils due to overflow is crucial for determining the quantity and rate of water release. This is necessary to assess the consequences of a failure,
