We found time to visit the Itaipu hydroelectric plant, a joint-venture dam operation between Brazil and Paraguay.

However, sedimentation issues have impacted and continue to threaten safe dam operations.

Normal dam operations rarely release more than 20,000 cubic feet per second of water.

Stricter regulations were placed on the dam operation at that point.

And haven't all Americans paid to subsidize dam operations and salmon "mitigation" in the decades since then?

During the spring and fall, when dam operations were starting up and shutting down, upstream fish passage could be totally blocked.

Holmes found that the manual for dam operations was ambiguous, unclear, impractical and not up to date.

In 2010 the federal government budgeted N43 million for construction of the gravity irrigation scheme at the dam and N11 million for dam operations.

During the 1970s, the ecological and economic effects of these projects prompted scientists to seek ways to modify dam operations to maintain certain fish species.

These forecasts are used by a wide range of users, including those in agriculture, hydroelectric dam operation, and water supply resources.
