The Ilisu Dam is part of the Turkish Southeastern Anatolia Project (GAP) and is the largest dam on the Tigris River in Turkey. It is located on the main river course 65 km upstream of the Syrian and Iraqi border. The Ilisu Dam watershed is the same a...
Dams play a pivotal role in providing essential services such as energy generation, water supply, and flood control. However, their stability is crucial, and continuous monitoring is vital to mitigate potential risks. The Mosul Dam is one of the most...
On-going monitoring of deformation of dams is critical to assure their safe and efficient operation. Traditional monitoring methods, based on in-situ sensors measurements on the dam, have some limitations in spatial coverage, observation frequency, a...
Siltation is one of the most common problems in storage projects and attached structures around the world, due to its effects on a project’s life span and operational efficiency. A three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model was...
Water seepage flow can dissolve soluble minerals that exist in rock formations. With the development of the excavated area due to dissolution, the water seepage velocity (discharge) into the dissolved rock will also increase. Therefore, water seepage...
Over the last 50 years, countries across North Africa and the Middle East have seen a significant increase in dam construction which, notwithstanding their benefits, have endangered archaeological heritage. Archaeological surveys and salvage excavati...
Modeling the water quality of rivers and assessing the effects of changing conditions is often hindered by a lack of in situ measurements for calibration. Here, we use a combination of satellite measurements, statistical models, and numerical modelin...
