The construction of large dams in the USA reveals a rapid growth in activity in the post-Second World War period, with the largest number of dams being inaugurated in the mid-1960s. Texas, with 823 dams, is the state with the largest number, followed in turn by California, Oklahoma, ...
In contrast, the opponents claim that social and environmental costs of large dams far exceed their benefits, and that the era of construction of large dams is over. A major reason as to why there is no consensus on the overall benefits of large dams is because objective, authoritative and ...
Additional management activities over the past ~ 100 years include the construction of outlet dams in the early 1900s on all lakes except Blackwell, and forest harvesting that has occurred within the watersheds at a range of intensities since ~ 1970 (Table 1). Heffley Lake has ~ 100 ...

The ReqSim therefore can play a crucial role in Pakistan by predicting the flow into major reservoirs and dams, and by enabling an efficient and timely dam operation strategy to reduce downstream flood risk. The ReqSim has also shown high forecasting accuracy along the Yangtze River in China ...

aquatic organisms)8, other human activities raised Na+, K+, SO42−, HCO3−, and Cl−concentrations in rivers2,6,11,17,18,19. Moreover, large dams have modified the solute content of rivers, as evidenced by the recent decreases in DSi in the Yangtze20and TDS in the Yellow River...
2C, process 6b) the lake processes are biochemically driven and heterogeneity is maintained in different lake compartments (Van Nes and Scheffer, 2005). Intuitively, internal connectivity decreases though narrowing of the lake or dams in the lake, since they obstruct water flow between different ...
These alterations include the development of over 5900 km of levees in addition to operation of dams and flood control structures designed to manage river stages for navigation and/or to prevent flooding. Fig. 1 Theoretical hydropatterns for an alluvial swamp forest (upper panel) and hardwood ...
