		Dams may be built to provide water for irrigation or town water supply, control the amount of water in rivers or to provide hydroelectric power.
		Rock-fill dams are embankments of loose rock with either a watertight upstream face of concrete slabs or timber or a watertight core.
		Earth dams are constructed as a simple homogeneous embankment of well-compacted earth, sometimes with a watertight concrete core or upstream face, or sometimes with a hydraulic fill to produce a watertight core.

	Dam (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		A type of temporary earth dam occasionally used in highlattitudes is the frozen-core dam, in which a coolant is circulated through pipes inside the dam to maintain a watertight regionof permafrost within it.
		If the upstream face is vertical theentire weight of the dam must be carried to the foundation by gravity, while the distribution of the normal hydrostatic pressurebetween vertical cantilever and arch action will depend upon the stiffness of the dam in a vertical and horizontal direction.
		In a constant-angle dam, this subtended angle is kepta constant and the variation in distance between the abutments at various levels is are taken care of by varying the radii.

	Dam
		A dam (a common Teutonic word, compare to Dutch dam, Swedish and German damm, and the Gothic verb faurdammjan, to block up) is a barrier across flowing water that obstructs, directs or retards the flow, often creating a reservoir, lake or impoundment.
		A diversionary dam is a dam that does not completely block a river.
		Earth dams are constructed as a simple homogeneous embankment of well-compacted earth, sometimes with a watertight concrete or clay core or upstream face, or sometimes with a hydraulic fill to produce a watertight core.

	The river Murray System : Hume and Dartmouth Dams Operations Review
		The primary purpose of Hume Dam is to conserve water in periods of high flow for later release during periods of low flow.
		Hume Dam is 305 km downstream of the source of the River Murray, and 2 225 km upstream of the river mouth.
		It yields 18% of the water to Hume Reservoir (not all of this occurs as snow), which is 6.6% of the total inflow to the Murray.

	Dam
		A type of temporary earth dam occasionally used in high latitudes is the frozen-core dam, in which a coolant is circulated through pipes inside the dam to maintain a watertight region of permafrost within it.
		The dam will not overturn provided that the moment around the turning point, caused by the water pressure is smaller than the moment caused by the weight of the dam.
		However, in order to prevent tensile stress at the upstream face and excessive compressive stress at the downstream face, the dam cross section is usually designed so that the resultant falls within the middle third at all elevations of the cross section (the core).

		As it is the furthest downstream of the major reservoirs on the Murray River system, and has the capacity to release water atthe fastest rate, Lake Hume is used by the irrigation authorities as the storage of first resort.
		Monitoring of the dam in the early 1990s revealed that the water pressure and leakage had caused the dam to move on itsfoundations slightly, leading to concerns that the dam was heading for collapse, threatening Albury-Wodonga and the entire Murraybasin with it.

		A dam (a common Teutonic word, compare to Dutch dam, Swedish and German damm, and the Gothic verbfaurdammjan, to block up) is a barrier across flowing water that obstructs, directs or retards the flow, often creatinga reservoir, lake or impoundment.
		Intended purposes include providing water for irrigation or town or city water supply, improving navigation, generating hydroelectric power, creating recreation areas or habitat for fish and wildlife, flood control and containing effluent from industrial sites such as mines or factories.
		To minimize that erosion (especially with maximum water elevation at the crest), the downstream face of the spillway isordinarily made an ogee curve.

		"Remedial work to improve the safety of Hume Dam began in 1995, but assumed greater impetus in 1996 after a small amount of movement was detected in the dam wall," he said.
		Mr Truss said the project made use of the latest construction and design expertise, with the result that the dam is now regarded as a showcase of international engineering excellence.
