Embankment dams are widely constructed due to their suitability with different types of foundation, and it is constructed from the available material at the site. A zoned earth dam consists of a clay core at the center to control seepage supported by a shell. This paper investigated the impacts of side slopes, top width, and shape on upstream and d...

Seepage is the main problem of earth dams; most failures are occurred due to excessive amount ofseepage. In zoned earth dams clay core is provided to minimize seepage quantity and its dimensions andshape has great influence on seepage quantity. In this study seepage through earth dam with vertical andslanting core case were analyzed for different s...

Runoff is excess rainfall or a portion of rainfall that flows over the watershed. In un-gauged streams, due to lack of data, many methods are used for runoff estimation. In this paper annual runoff and peak flow of Nazanin watershed were estimated at Nazanin Dam location using different methods. Soil Conservation Service (SCS) method, basin relatio...

In general, for determining aquifer parameters pumping test conducted on the production well, since in Erbil catchment area observation wells are not exist. In the present study steady state pumping test method using single well was used to estimate the tranmissivity of the aquifer. For this purpose pumping test conducted on a single production pum...
