This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effects of climate change on the hydrology and water resources of the Bhumibol Dam, upper Ping River basin, Thailand are assessed by utilizing the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Special Report Emission Scenarios (IPCC SRES)-climate scenarios during the 21st century from the fifth generation atmospheric general circulation model of the European Center for Medium Range Weather Prediction (ECHAM5) and the Community Climate System Model version 3.0 (CCSM3). The hydrologic response of streamflow in the upper Ping River basin to the climate change is performed under A1B, A2 and B1 with total 12 projections. The Watershed Environmental Hydrology-Hydro Climate Model (WEHY-HCM) is used to perform dynamical downscaling from the global atmospheric scale (~200 km) to the regional atmospheric scale over the study basin via the MM5 regional atmospheric model at 9 km grid resolution and hourly time intervals. The watershed module then couples the atmospheric and the land surface hydrology processes with its physically based model further, and simulates the watershed flows. The Global Climate Model (GCM)-historical control runs (1971 to 2000) were downscaled, corrected for their bias, and tested for the models' performance by a goodness of fit of model and observed flow cumulative distribution functions. The projected flows from 2001 to 2015 and observed flows were compared, and showed a projected range covering the observed time series. From the established GCMs' reliability in producing future climate variables, the future hydrologic flows of the study area can be generated and the effects of the climate change can be studied. Based on the ensemble average of 12 realizations, the results show that toward the end of 21st century the future projected flows yield a significant upward trend when tested by the Mann-Kendall trend test at 95% confidence level. The study basin will have a streamflow increase of 17.3% (6.36 billion m3) on average, compared to the average flows from 1988 to 2015 (5.24 billion m3). These flows will supply the Bhumibol Dam, which has a total storage of 13.4 billion m3 and active storage of 9.7 billion m3. Thus, the increase in the ensemble mean accumulated annual flow is still less than the dam storage capacity, which will have space to receive additional water at about 4 to 8 billion m3 of the active and total storage, respectively. However, the flood management, the dam operation policy and its structure must be investigated further in detail for the effect of climate change conditions specifically in terms of the effect of natural variability and the effect of maximum flood discharge, which are beyond this research scope. Water balance simulation results show an extreme drought during the first half of the century, and the water shortage situation will decline thereafter due to more projected inflows after 2070. The possible drought mitigation solution of the Bhumibol Dam is by water transfer from a neighboring watershed. This study found that by transferring water to fill the Bhumibol Dam by at least 25% (1,355 mcm) of mean annual discharge (5,241 mcm) would reduce water deficit dramatically at the end of the 21st century. However, water diversion at 35% (1,897 mcm) of the mean annual discharge yields the highest rate of reducing water deficit, and the water transfer at 50% (2,710 mcm) is the optimal volume to minimize the water deficit. Moreover, the water transfer at 80% (4,336.96) of mean annual discharge may be a better solution when the future water demand estimates at the end of the 21st century are included into water balance computations. This study provides a preliminary solution to alleviate a prolonged drought at the Bhumibol Dam reservoir, which would occur every year during the first half of the century. The possible and effective drought mitigation for the Bhumibol Dam, a water diversion project to increase water supply of the dam, may be possible, and needs to be studied in more detail with the consideration of floods as well in a future study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thailand's Bhumibol Adulyadej, the only king ever born in the United States, came to the throne of his country in 1946 and is now the world's longest-serving monarch. This book tells the unexpected story of his life and 60-year rule: how a Western-raised boy came to be seen by his people as a living Buddha; and how a king widely seen as beneficent and apolitical could in fact be so deeply political, autocratic, and even brutal. Paul Handley provides an extensively researched, factual account of the king's youth and personal development, ascent to the throne, skilful political maneuverings, and attempt to shape Thailand as a Buddhist kingdom. Blasting apart the widely accepted image of the king as egalitarian and virtuous, Handley convincingly portrays an anti-democratic monarch who, together with allies in big business and the corrupt Thai military, has protected a centuries-old, barely-modified feudal dynasty. When at nineteen Bhumibol assumed the throne after the still-unsolved shooting of his brother, the Thai monarchy had been stripped of power and prestige. Over the ensuing decades, Bhumibol became the paramount political actor in the kingdom, crushing critics while attaining high status among his people. The book details this process and depicts Thailand's unique constitutional monarch in the full light of the facts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of water resources is a key element in the socio-economic development of many regions in the world. Water availability and rainfall are unequally distributed both in space and time, so dams play a vital role, there being few viable alternatives for storing water. Dams hold a prime place in satisfying the ever-increasing demand for power, irrigation and drinking water, for protection of man, property and environment from catastrophic floods, and for regulating the flow of rivers. Dams have contributed to the development of civilization for over 2,000 years. Worldwide there are some 45,000 large dams listed by ICOLD, which have a height over 15 meters. Today, in western countries, where most of the water resources have been developed, the safety of the existing dams and measures for extending their economical life are of prime concern. In developing countries the focus is on the construction of new dams. The proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Dam Engineering includes contributions from 18 countries, and provides an overview of the state-of-the-art in hydropower development, new type dams, new materials and new technologies, dam and environment. Traditional areas, such as concrete dams and embankment dams, methods of analysis and design of dams, dam foundation, seismic analysis, design and safety, stability of dam and slope, dam safety monitoring and instrumentation, dam maintenance, and rehabilitation and heightening are also considered. The book is of special interest to scientists, researchers, engineers, and students working in dam engineering, dam design, hydropower development, environmental engineering, and structural hydraulics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand is the world s longest reigning monarch. Indeed, his 65-year reign is one of the longest in world history, an achievement few would have predicted when the Thai king acceded the throne after the mysterious death of his brother in 1946. How did King Bhumibol revive the sinking fortunes of the Thai monarchy? Why has he become arguably the most revered king in Thai history? This illustrated biography tells that remarkable story. Beginning with an introduction explaining the unique history and traditions of the Thai monarchy, King Bhumibol Adulyadej: A Life s Work offers a fresh and insightful account of his life, from his birth in America and education in Europe to his unexpected accession to the throne. Following him through the Cold War and Indochina War periods, the book shows how the king has used his position to help develop the country and its people while at the same time securing the status of the monarchy itself. King Bhumibol Adulyadej: A Life s Work also includes insightful chapters on the often-misunderstood institutions that support the crown the Crown Property Bureau and Privy Council as well as essays on the controversial lese-majeste law and the issue of succession."
