Lecture
This lecture covers the design and operation of river thresholds and dams, focusing on hydraulic structures and installations. Topics include the regulation effect of river dams, discharge flow control, and the protection against local erosion. The instructor explains the goals of weirs and dams in rivers, the combination of structures to control water levels, and the hydraulic calculations for different flow scenarios. The lecture also addresses the challenges of managing water intake, the impact of flow variations on dam operation, and the importance of maintaining water levels in the return channels.
