Improving Dam Safety Using a Fin Drain
Bloemhoek Dam is an embankment dam with a maximum height of 21 m, which leaked severely after first filling in 1978. This leakage resulted in the development of `boils' over a portion...
Remedial Grouting at Calero Dam
This paper describes the design and construction of a remedial grout curtain to resolve a long-standing seepage condition at Calero Dam, located at the south end of the highly-populated...
Geotechnical Modifications at Meeks Cabin Dam
This paper presents a summary of the geologic and geotechnical evaluation of a potential piping deficiency identified at Meeks Cabin Dam as well as description of remedial measures and/or...
General Design and Construction Considerations for Remedial Seepage Control
All earth and rock-fill dams are subject to seepage through the embankment, foundation and abutments. Methods for remedial seepage control include storage restriction, grouting, upstream...
Evaporation Pond Hydrology
Drainwater evaporation ponds are impoundment facilities designed for drainwater disposal by evaporation. In California, these ponds are typically constructed on the clay soils of the western...

The Douglas Dam Emergency Response and Rehabilitation
Through the timely response of the Owner, the potential failure of Douglas Dam was averted, and lives and property downstream were protected. The economic losses created by loss of irrigation...
Liquefaction Potential Leads to Dam Reconstruction
Results of a visual inspection of the Dundee Dam conducted in 1982 revealed the presence of seepage on the downstream toe of the left embankment. Subsequent subsurface explorations and...
Ecohydrological Processes in Almost Flat Wetlands
In spite of their modest relief almost flat wetlands are able to maintain definite topographically driven groundwater flow systems. Large seepage areas create ecohydrological gradients...

Lessons Learned from Elk Creek Dam
This is the third of a series of papers published on the design and construction of Elk Creek Dam. The first paper discussed design and construction concepts to provide water tightness...
Behavior of Urugua-I Dam
URUGUA-I with its 76 m height is one of the higher lean roller compacted concrete dams. The project includes some outstanding features like the very low cement content and a PVC membrane...
