Improvement of EIA methods for large reservoirs by using network thinking analysis approach: a case study of Azad dam, Iran

Anton Schleiss, Azin Amini, Nicolas Schmid, Yannick Fessler

Dam construction and large reservoir projects are essential for sustainable economic developments especially in developing countries like Iran. Such big projects, could have major social and environmental impacts. At this point, Environmental Impact Assess ...

Spillway blockage caused by large wood in reservoirs

Anton Schleiss, José Pedro Gamito de Saldanha Calado Matos, Michael Pfister, Paloma Furlan

Large wood (LW) elements are often transported by rivers into reservoirs during heavy rainfall events. Large wood has important environmental attributes that benefit the diversification of riverine ecosystems. There are several studies dealing with the tra ...

BLOCKING PROBABILITY OF DRIFTWOOD AT OGEE CREST SPILLWAYS WITH PIERS: INFLUENCE OF WOODY DEBRIS CHARACTERISTICS

Anton Schleiss, José Pedro Gamito de Saldanha Calado Matos, Michael Pfister, Paloma Furlan

Spillways are designed to evacuate floods in a safe way. They should safely release water in order to avoid dam overtopping with its related damages. Nevertheless, it may be dangerous to assume that a flood is only carrying “clear” water. Large woody debri ...

Computational hydraulic modelling of fine sediment stirring and evacuation through the power waterways at the Trift reservoir

Anton Schleiss, Pedro Filipe De Almeida Manso, Célestin Leupi, Azin Amini, Sara Venuleo

Taking advantage of the withdrawal of some glaciers, several new dams will eventually be constructed in Switzerland in the coming years as a part of the 2050 energy strategy. The Trift dam, located in Berner Oberlands in Switzerland, is one of these new pr ...

Dynamic water allocation policies improve the global efficiency of storage systems

Paolo Perona, Amin Niayifar

Water impoundment by dams strongly affects the river natural flow regime, its attributes and the related ecosystem biodiversity. Fostering the sustainability of water uses e.g., hydropower systems thus implies searching for innovative operational policies ...

Entrainement de bois flottant dans un déversoir a crête standard avec piliers: Influence des caractéristiques de bois flottant en probabilités de blocage

Anton Schleiss, José Pedro Gamito de Saldanha Calado Matos, Michael Pfister, Paloma Furlan

Spillways are safety elements of dams that allow to release floods. They spill water to avoid overtopping with its potential structural damages at the dam and the downstream environment. Nevertheless it may be unsafe to assume that a flood only carries cle ...

Hydraulic scaled model tests for the optimization of approach channel excavation and approach flow conditions of haraz morning glory spillway

Anton Schleiss

Haraz dam under construction is located along Tehran-Amol road, 20 km upstream of the Amol city. A tunnel has been designed to detour the traffic temporarily around the dam site to avoid any closure of the main road. This tunnel will be integrated in the m ...
