Twenty-Seventh International Congress on Large Dams Vingt-Septième Congrès International des Grands Barrages
The International Committee on Large Dams (ICOLD) held its 27th International Congress in Marseille, France (27 May – 3 June 2022). The proceedings of the congress focus on four main questions: 1. Reservoir sedimentation and sustainable development; 2. Safety and risk analysis; 3. Geology and dams, and 4. Small dams and levees. The book thoroughly discusses these questions and is indispensable for academics, engineers and professionals involved or interested in engineering, hydraulic engineering and related disciplines. Le Comité International des Grands Barrages (CIGB) a tenu son 27e Congrès international à Marseille, France (27 mai - 3 juin 2022). Les actes du congrès portent sur quatre questions principales : 1. Sédimentation des réservoirs et développement durable ; 2. Analyse de la sécurité et des risques ; 3. Géologie et barrages, et 4. Petits barrages et digues. Le livre traite en profondeur de ces questions et est indispensable pour les universitaires, les ingénieurs et les professionnels impliqués ou intéressés par l'ingénierie, l'ingénierie hydraulique et les disciplines connexes.

Patologia de túneis hidráulicos
Sistemas subterrâneos de condução de água podem ser complexos, o que é agravado pela diversidade de condições geológicas, físicas. geométricas e ambientais. As investigações na fase de projeto dificilmente preveem todas as condições que serão encontradas durante a construção, adicionando aos túneis um elemento vulnerável a acidentes e incidentes. Patologia de túneis hidráulicos traça um breve histórico dessas obras no Brasil e analisa as causas de acidentes e incidentes ocorridos. Revê as diretrizes de projeto e identifica os locais de escape de água. A segunda parte da obra traz 11 cadastros detalhados de casos reais de acidentes e incidentes, com desenhos do projeto do empreendimento, descrição, dados gerais e causas do acidente; apresenta ainda as medidas de recuperação.
Dams and Development
Big dams built for irrigation, power, water supply, and other purposes were among the most potent symbols of economic development for much of the twentieth century. Of late they have become a lightning rod for challenges to this vision of development as something planned by elites with scant regard for environmental and social consequences—especially for the populations that are displaced as their homelands are flooded. In this book, Sanjeev Khagram traces changes in our ideas of what constitutes appropriate development through the shifting transnational dynamics of big dam construction. Khagram tells the story of a growing, but contentious, world society that features novel and increasing...
Dams and Development
By the year 2000, the world had built more than 45,000 large dams to irrigate crops, generate power, control floods in wet times and store water in dry times. Yet, in the last century, large dams also disrupted the ecology of half the world's rivers, displaced tens of millions of people from their homes and left nations burdened with debt. Their impacts have inevitably generated growing controversy and conflicts. Resolving their role in meeting water and energy needs is vital for the future and illustrates the complex development challenges that face our societies. The Report of the World Commission on Dams: - is the product of an unprecedented global public policy effort to bring government...
Tailings Management Handbook
As long as we have mining and mineral processing, tailings and the responsible management thereof will remain at the forefront, with a company’s environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance in part a reflection of how well tailings risks are being managed. The Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management (GISTM) was published in August 2020, aiming to prevent catastrophic failure of tailings facilities by providing operators with specified measures and approaches throughout the mine life cycle, taking into account multiple stakeholder perspectives. In 2021, the International Council on Mining & Metals (ICMM) published the Tailings Management: Good Practice Guide intended to s...
