List of tallest dams in the world 1 List of tallest dams in the world This list is incomplete. This is a list of the tallest dams in the world over 135 m (443 ft) in height. Currently, the tallest dam in the world is the Jinping-I Dam, an arch dam in China at 305 m (1,001 ft) high. The tallest embankment dam is the 300 m (984 ft) high Nurek Dam in Tajikistan which is also the second tallest dam in the world. For gravity dams, the tallest is the 285 m (935 ft) high Grande Dixence Dam in Switzerland. When completed, a 335 m (1,099 ft) tall Rogun Dam also in Tajikistan could be the tallest, depending on the chosen design. Next in line is the 312 m (1,024 ft) Shuangjiangkou Dam currently under construction in China. Natural landslide dams are also quite competitive in height but not listed here. In particular, the highest natural dam, Usoi Dam, is higher than the highest existing man-made one. The Nurek Dam in Tajikistan. The Grande Dixence Dam in Switzerland. The Inguri Dam in Georgia.

    doi: 10.14456/jms.2018.4 The Use of Social Capital in Organizing the Frog Festival of Baying Village in the Context of Cultural Tourism Development1 Houdian Yaa and Jaggapan Cadchumsangb* abFaculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Khon Kaen University Khon Kaen 40002, Thailand *Corresponding author. Email: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract This article deals with the use of social capital in organizing the Frog Festival in a Zhuang ethnic village in China amidst the expansion of cultural tourism. The data used were drawn from qualitative research in Baying Village, Donglan District, Hechi City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, People’s Republic of China. Key informant interviews as well as participant and non-participant observations were the main data collection techniques employed in the field research. The study found that there are three forms of social capital-namely, networks, norms, and trust-employed in the organization of the Frog Festival, which has become a part of China’s cultural tourism development. Social capital in the form of networks includes bonding networks among relatives, bridging networks between Baying residents and Zhuang outside the village, and linking networks between Baying villagers and the state as well as agencies from outside. Of the three forms of network, bonding is the most important because it connects not only those who have genealogical relationships, but also Zhuang dwellers from nearby villages to actively take part in organizing the festival. The research also indicates key roles of the other two categories of social capital-norms and trust-used in the organization of the Frog Festival which have allowed for its success in Baying and generated strong social networks.

ABSTRACT The Bakhtiari Dam is a planned arch dam on the Bakhtiari River within the Zagros Mountains in Lorestan Province, Iran. At a planned height of 315 meters (1,033 ft), it will be the world's tallest dam once completed and withhold the largest reservoir in Iran. The Zagros Mountains are the largest mountain range in Iran and Iraq. With a total length of 1,500 km (932 mi), from northwestern Iran, and roughly correlating with Iran's western border, the Zagros range spans the whole length of the western and southwestern Iranian plateau and ends at the Straits of Hormuz. In this paper, the probability of environmental pollution due to heavy metals caused by Bakhtiari dam failure is studied. Finite Element and ZENGAR methods are used to analyze the probability of pollution at dam downstream. Different dam cross sections and various loading conditions are considered to study the effects of these factors on the seismic behavior of the dam. Results show that the effect of the highest cross section is not the most significant for heavy metals pollution at the dam down stream. Pollution coefficient due to stress along Y axis (Sy) is always the determinant pollution. While, in all sections Sx and Sy are the determinant parameter affecting downstream heavy metal pollution and normally are bigger than Sz.

    Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research, volume 85 4th International Conference on Management Science, Education Technology, Arts, Social Science and Economics (MSETASSE 2016) Discussions on Development of Cultural Tourism Industry in Region at the Source of the Pearl River Jingfeng Wang School of economics and management, Qujing Normal University, Qujing Yunnan, 655011, China Key words: Source of the Pearl River, Cultural tourism, Development. Abstract. The Pearl River is one of the three large inland rivers of China. The region at the source of the Pearl River is rich in natural landscape resources and human landscapes, has a profound historical and cultural foundation, and is distinctively featured by minority folk-custom, all of which are advantageous conditions for the development of cultural tourism industry. Yet the development situation of cultural tourism industry at the source of the Pearl River is still less than satisfactory. Only by transformation and upgrading of scenic region at the source of the Pearl River, and development of minority folk-custom-themed the Three Kingdoms History-themed cultural tourism, and cultural heritage tourism products, the cultural tourism industry at the source of the Pearl River can have more development opportunities. Overview of the Pearl River and of Its Source The Pearl River is one of the three inland rivers of China. By streamflow, the Pearl River is the second largest inland river in China, second only to the Yangtze River; by length, the Pearl River is the third largest inland river in China, following the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. The main stream of the Pearl River is 2320km long in total, the basin area is 446,768km2 [1], its river basin stretches over Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, Hunan, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, and it flows into the South China Sea from the 8th estuary in the Pearl River Delta.

    The Methods Used in Monitoring of Large Dams in Turkey

    ©2020 Published in 8th International Symposium on Innovative Technologies in Engineering and Science 23-25 October 2020 (ISITES2020 Bursa - Turkey) https://doi.org/10.33793/acperpro.03.01.51 The Methods Used in Monitoring of Large Dams in Turkey Haluk BALI1*, Salih ALCAY2 1 The General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works, 5. Regional Directorate, 56. Division Office, Kırıkkale, Turkey, 2 Necmettin Erbakan University, Engineering and Achitecture Faculty, Geomatics Engineering Department, Konya, Turkey. Abstract Turkey is a very rich country in terms of water resources. However, in order to use these resources efficiently, water must be stored safely. In this context, the best form of storage is the construction of dams. In our country, large dams, which are among the world's important dams, are being built. Although there are many advantages of large dams, the loss of life and property will be so great in case of a possible deformation or destruction. The fact that dams are under the influence of various forces, as well as being located in the earthquake zone of our country, necessitates continuous monitoring of our dams. Dams are generally monitored using geodetic methods and geotechnical devices. However, mostly details of these two methods are evaluated separately in dam monitoring. Evaluating the results of both methods together is very important for the comprehensive monitoring of the dam and the correct interpretation of possible deformations. In this study, large dams in our country and monitoring studies carried out by using geodetic and geotechnical methods in these dams are given in detail. Key words: Dam, Deformation Monitoring, Geodetic, Geotechnical 1.

    Determination of Thermal Stratification and Its Effects on Water Quality in Dams Using Analytical Methods

    River Basin Management VI 379 Determination of thermal stratification and its effects on water quality in dams using analytical methods G. Badalians Gholikandi1, E. Jalilzadeh2, H. R. Orumieh3 & H. R. Tashaouie4 1Power and Water University of Technology (PWUT), Water Research Institute (WRI), Iran 2Tehran Water and Wastewater Company (TWWC), Iran 3Parsarianab Consulting Engineers, Iran 4National Water and Wastewater Company (NWWC), Iran Abstract Data analysis should be viewed as an integral component of the water quality management process [1]. Statistical techniques such as factor analysis (FA), cluster analysis (CA) and T test were applied to get information about the similarities or dissimilarities, to detect thermal stratification and to interpret Amir Kabir Dam water quality data. Analyses were based on 150 total samples from 5 depths during about a two year period (from April 2008 to April 2010) which were measured for 29 (19 physicochemical and 10 biological) parameters resulting in 4350 observations. Using PCA/FA for physicochemical variables, five Varifactors were obtained with eigenvalues >1 contributing to almost 82.342% of total variance in water dataset which are included on the components. Moreover, FA is a helpful method for physicochemical data reduction, although it is not as good for biological data reduction. Thermal stratification is the biggest problem at the majority of deep reservoirs resulting from the surface warming. It results in water quality detritions in the bottom layers. Finding the depths affected by this occurrence is an important problem in the management of reservoirs. In this study CA and t-test were applied to identify thermal stratification and its consequences on water quality.
