	Dam - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		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, also called earthen and earth-fill 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.
		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.

	Britain.tv Wikipedia - Dams
		A diversionary dam is a structure designed to divert all or a portion of the flow of a river from its natural course.
		In a constant-angle dam, also known as a variable radius dam, this subtended angle is kept a constant and the variation in distance between the abutments at various levels are taken care of by varying the radii.
		A steel dam is a type of dam briefly experimented with in around the turn of the 19th-20th century which uses steel plating (at an angle) and load bearing beams as the structure.

	Mactaquac Dam - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Mactaquac Dam is a hydroelectric dam built on the Saint John River in the Canadian province of New Brunswick and operated by NB Power corporation.
		The dam itself is a rock-fill structure sealed by clay and combined with a concrete spill-way, forming an arch across a narrow section of the river between Kingsclear on the west bank, and Keswick Ridge on the east bank.
		The recreational facilities and economic development spawned by the dam are said to be inspired by the Tennessee Valley Authority, which undertook several similar projects in the southern United States.

		Its length is blocked by dams, and its reaches are wide, windswept and uninviting.
		The Mactaquac Dam had been built only a few years before, and there were many upstream communities where the residents had had to leave their homes behind, as the rising waters had blocked roads and flooded villages.
		When we got to the dam, it was late afternoon, and we decided to carry over the dam and camp on the flats below.

	Mactaquac and its Facilities (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		When the Mactaquac Hydroelectric Dam was proposed for the Saint John River in the early 1960's, concern was expressed over its probable effects on the migratory fish resources.
		As a result of this concern, a fish collection facility was built into the dam, a trucking operation was initiated to distribute fish upriver, and the Mactaquac Fish Culture Station was constructed to compensate for salmon production losses in the flooded area behind the dam.
		Today, the Mactaquac "fish" facilities include the Fish Collection Facility and trucking operation (at the dam), the Accelerated Rearing Facility (beside the dam), and the Main Salmon Hatchery (on this site).

	Mactaquac1
		In the province of New Brunswick, on the Saint John River and its tributaries, there are a number of dams and hydroelectric power plants of which the Mactaquac is the largest.
		Most of the dam is a rock- filled structure, with a clay core to prevent percolation of water through it.
		The dam is located only about half a kilometer away from the main highway.

		Based on structure and material used dams are timber dams, embankment dams or masonry dams (arch or gravity type).
		Like the earth embankment, rock-fill dams resist damage from earthquakes quite well.
		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 purpose of this testing was to prepare for upcoming testing at the Mactaquac Dam for Project T052700-0208B and to answer several questions about electrical testing of concrete anchors which remained after simulation and basic lab testing at the University of Utah for Project T052700-0208A.
		Initially the intention was to validate the feasibility of reflectometry methods for location of broken strands; however, testing demonstrated that the anchor cables are not electrically isolated as originally expected, and as required for electrical testing.
		At the end of the report, some conclusions are presented together with a presentation of potential research activities that may be conducted in order to provide better understanding of the subject and tools for managing the dam safety problem caused by debris.

	2003 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE
		The Tinker Dam is located on the Aroostook River in Canada near the ME/NB border and Canadian law did not require the dam owner to bear the cost of replacing the fishway.
		Information was provided on dam removal effects on the Atlantic salmon resource, potential Atlantic salmon habitat gains, reduction of cumulative effects on upstream and downstream migrating salmon, upstream and downstream fish passage at the remaining dams, minimum flow allocations, establishment of mitigation funds, and the development of a fisheries white paper.
		This is the first dam that fish encounter on their upstream migration and all salmon returning to the Aroostook River to spawn must pass this facility The number of MSW (multi-sea-winter aged) salmon observed was nearly identical to last year (744 vs. 743) and remained well below the 5-year mean trap catch of 1655 fish.

		Some of the first dams were built in Mesopotamia up to 7,000 years ago.
		These were used to control the water level, for Mesopotamia's weather effected the Tigris and Euphrates rivers and could be quite unpredictable.
		One of the first recorded dams built was the Dujiangyan dam on the Minjiang River or Min River, a tributary of the Yangtze, in what is now the province of Sichuan.

		At another dam on the Saint John River, a mechanical hoist for lifting salmon over the dam is utilized.
		The fish collection facility at the Mactaquac dam provides an opportunity to isolate all hatchery-reared Saint John River salmon from naturally-produced salmon; thus selective breeding of specific hatchery strains can be utilized as a management tool.
		Research at large dams on the Columbia River in the western United States revealed that juvenile salmonid migrants concentrate in the upper levels of turbine intakes and enter turbine gatewells in large numbers (Long, 1968).

		Not a single one of the salmon smolts ultrasonically tagged and tracked in their migration progress down the St. John system this year had made it past the Mactaquac dam by July 14 when monitoring ended.
		Of the sixty, 40 were successfully tracked between the Tobique headpond and Mactaquac dam, 16 were never detected and four were found initially but lost after the first week.
		Of the remaining 40 per cent, signals from 7.5 per cent were last detected within the Beechwood headpond, 12.5 per cent died after passage through the Beechwood dam and 20 per cent successfully moved into the Mactaquac headpond, but did not move beyond it in their attempt to migrate to the ocean.

		Of the remaining 40%, signals from 7.5% were last detected within the Beechwood headpond, 12.5% died after passage through the Beechwood dam and 20% successfully moved into the Mactaquac headpond, but did not move beyond it in their attempt to migrate to the ocean.
		Freshwater problems are as big a threat as those in the ocean and the St. John River dams are a prime example of threats encountered in the rivers.
		These preliminary results on the St. John River indicate that the mortality of smolt as they migrate downstream through dams is much larger than previously acknowledged.
