Lock Gates and Other Closures in Hydraulic Projects shares the authors practical experience in design, engineering, management and other relevant aspects with regard to hydraulic gate projects. This valuable reference on the design, construction, operation and maintenance of navigation lock gates, movable closures of weirs, flood barriers, and gates for harbor and shipyard docks provides systematic coverage on all structural types of hydraulic gates, the selection of gate types, and their advantages and disadvantages. The discussion includes the latest views in new domains, such as environmental impact of hydraulic gate projects, sustainability assessments, relation with the issues of global climate change, handling accidents and calamities, and the bases of asset management. Heavily illustrated, this reference provides a generous amount of case studies based on the author's own and their colleagues' experiences from recent projects in Europe, America and other continents.

This is the story of the human effort that went into completing oneof the most complex feats of engineering in Alabama history, the buildingof four major hydroelectric dams by the Alabama Power Company.Between 1910 and 1930 the Alabama Power Company builtfour major hydroelectric projects: Lay Dam (1914), Mitchell Dam (1923),and Jordan Dam (1929) on the Coosa River and Martin Dam (1926) on the TallapoosaRiver. When the turbines began spinning and electricity began to flowfrom the power houses to farms, towns, and cities, Alabama moved from the19th into the 20th century.Constructed in remote areas of the state, the dams wereunique projects, yet they all had elements in common. The company had tobuild transportation networks to get men and material to the sites. Workers,skilled and unskilled, black and white, were recruited, brought in, housed,and fed. When wives and children joined the men, worker camps became towns,with schools, churches, medical clinics, and recreational facilities. Thesetowns were at once a reflection of their culture--and a look into a futurethat electricity would make possible.Putting "Loafing Streams" to Work is the story oflife in the towns and on the jobs. This story will help us better understandthe impact of Alabama Power's early activities and how Alabamians respondedto the forces of industrialization.

For generations the Río Embudo watershed in northern New Mexico has been the home of Juan Estevan Arellano and his ancestors. From this unique perspective Arellano explores the ways people use water in dry places around the world. Touching on the Middle East, Europe, Mexico, and South America before circling back to New Mexico, Arellano makes a case for preserving the acequia irrigation system and calls for a future that respects the ecological limitations of the land.
