Abstract |
|
Dams and reservoirs are useful tools to control water resources to allow irrigation, and to avoid high-flood disasters. Nevertheless, these useful capacities to store water also lead to unintended consequences which affect the erosion/transport processes through watersheds. Some dams no longer serve the purpose for which they were constructed. When a dam has significantly deteriorated, the costs of repair may exceed the expected benefits, and dam removal may be a less expensive alternative. Hydropower reservoirs are loses their capacity due to sedimentation processes, and are therefore seriously threatened in their performance. |
