This book was released on 1980 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lakeside Dam is privately owned, and the reservoir is used for recreational purposes. The dam and spillway structures are currently in poor condition. In accordance with criteria established by Federal (OCE) Guidelines, the recommended spillway design flood for this 'Small' size dam and 'Significant' hazard classification is the 100 Year Flood to one-half the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF). Based on the damage center located 2,000 feet downstream of the dam, the one-half PMF event has been selected as the spillway design flood. Hydrologic and hydraulic computations presented in Appendix D indicate that the spillway structure is capable of discharging less than 0.1 PMF without overtopping the embankment. As the structure will not discharge the spillway design flood without overtopping the embankment, it is considered to have an 'Inadequate' spillway. (Author).

Book In Suspect Terrain

    Book Details:
  • Author : John McPhee
  • Publisher : Farrar, Straus and Giroux
  • Release : 2011-04-01
  • ISBN : 0374708541
  • Pages : 236 pages

Download or read book In Suspect Terrain written by John McPhee and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the outwash plains of Brooklyn to Indiana's drifted diamonds and gold, John McPhee's In Suspect Terrain is a narrative of the earth, told in four sections of equal length, each in a different way reflecting the three others-- a biography; a set piece about a fragment of Appalachian landscape in illuminating counterpoint to the human history there; a modern collision of ideas about the origins of the mountain range; and, in contrast, a century-old collision of ideas about the existence of the Ice Age. The central figure is Anita Harris, an internationally celebrated geologist who went into her profession to get out of a Brooklyn ghetto. The unifying theme is plate tectonics-- here concentrating on the acceptance that all aspects of the theory do not universally enjoy. As such, In Suspect Terrain is a report from the rough spots at the front edge of a science. In Suspect Terrain is the second book in a series on geology and geologists, presenting a cross section of North America along the fortieth parallel, and gathered under the overall title Annals of the Former World. The other books in the series are Basin and Range, Rising from the Plains, and Assembling California.

Book Natural Lives  Modern Times

    Book Details:
  • Author : Bruce Stutz
  • Publisher : University of Pennsylvania Press
  • Release : 1998-07-29
  • ISBN : 9780812216585
  • Pages : 404 pages

Download or read book Natural Lives Modern Times written by Bruce Stutz and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 1998-07-29 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Delaware River flows out of New York's Catskill Mountains and winds its way through woodland and rural farmland, through the great Water Gap ravine, and finally past one of the world's most industrialized riverfronts. Yet it remains one of the country's last undammed rivers, with a natural life as rich and varied as its human history. In Natural Lives, Modern Times, Bruce Stutz has written a thoroughly modern natural history, blending keen observations of the nature of the Delaware's enduring complex of river, glacial streams, marshlands, and forest with glimpses of history and folklore and with luminous portraits of those whose lives are sustained by the river. The Delaware was the waterway of the nation's first mercantile, philosophical, scientific, cultural, and industrial heartland, hosting immigrants from Europe, Africa, and the Mediterranean, all looking for new lives along the ancient river. In this always entertaining and often haunting intertwining of human and natural history, Bruce Stutz discovers those who regret what has been lost and those passionate about preserving what remains. Most of all, however, he lets us see what's at stake in a wonderfully diverse world. Not since Mark Twain has anyone taken such a freewheeling river journey.

Book Palazzos of Power

    Book Details:
  • Author : Aaron V. Wunsch
  • Publisher : Chronicle Books
  • Release : 2016-11-01
  • ISBN : 1616895624
  • Pages : 161 pages

Download or read book Palazzos of Power written by Aaron V. Wunsch and published by Chronicle Books. This book was released on 2016-11-01 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "If it isn't Electric, it isn't Modern." Such was the slogan of the Philadelphia Electric Company, developer of an unprecedented network of massive metropolitan power stations servicing greater Philadelphia at the turn of the twentieth century. These once-brilliant sentinels of civic utility and activity were designed to convey "solidity and immensity" in an age of deep public skepticism. They now stand vacant and decaying, a "blight" in the eyes of city planners and a beacon to urban explorers. The first book on the buildings and machines that made possible the electrification of the United States, Palazzos of Power offers a visual and analytical exploration of architecture, technology, place, loss, and reuse. With a foreword by David Nye, this collection of Joseph Elliott's beautiful large-format photographs reveal the urban landscape, monumental spaces, giant machinery, and intricate controls that made up the central station. Aaron Wunsch's essay provides historical context on the social and political climate.
