Hydraulics of Low-Level Outlets
на канале: VAW - Laboratory of Hydraulics, Hydrology and Glaciology
Reservoir dams are an important part of today’s water infrastructure. A key element for their safe operation are so-called low-level outlets. In this video we present a series of completed and ongoing research projects on low-level outlet works for large dams. This online guided tour is aimed at interested laymen as well as people with technical backgrounds.
