	Australia from A-Z
		Australia does not have an official national bird but the emu is featured on the Coat of Arms and is the largest bird in Australia and the second largest bird in the world.
		Australia has 6 principal LAKES There are not many natural lakes so many rivers have had dams constructed on them which make lakes and water storage reservoirs.
		Australia has 14 UNESCO National Heritage sites including the Great Barrier Reef which has the largest collection of coral reef in the world, and Fraser Island which is the largest sand island in the world.

	Living with Drought - Australia
		Much of Australia is desert, and most of the population clings to the narrow coastal zones.
		Scientists and historians are only now coming to realise that in 1788 when Australia was settled, and for some time after that, we were in the middle of an unusual weather pattern, one that gave adequate rain and turned normally arid zones into useable land.
		In the Redland Shire, to the south of Brisbane, and on the Sunshine Coast, their dams are full, and there are plans by the local and state government to work on a water-sharing plan.

	Dams
		The dam is evicting more than 7 500 families from 25 villages from their ancestral land and homes to make way for a reservoir with a storage capacity of 0.262 M acre-feet.
		The Maan dam is located at Jeerabad, in Dhar district in MP on the river Maan (a tributary of the Narmada River).
		The dam was built for irrigation and to restrict the flow of seawater.

	SILTATION OF AUSTRALIAN RESERVOIRS : SOME OBSERVATIONS AND DAM SAFETY IMPLICATIONS
		The reduction of reservoir storage capacity reduces the attenuation of the flood and it may increase the outflow, hence the head above crest, for a given reservoir inflow.
		The decrease in reservoir sedimentation is related to the introduction of new farming techniques, new land conservation practices and an awareness of soil erosion problems.
		Reservoir siltation affects the safety of old reservoirs : by reducing the flood attenuation and by increasing the wall pressure.

		Ladybower and the Derwent Dams in Britain were constructed in the early twentieth century; Derwent Dam between 1901 and 1916, and Ladybower was begun in 1935, finished in 1943 (the reservoir took an additional two years to fill).
		Initially, the dam was to regulate the flow on the river and to store water for irrigation, industrial and residential uses.
		These dams were constructed to conserve rain water for human consumption and to increase underground water reserves.

		Australia's biggest city, Sydney, is introducing its toughest ever water restrictions as a long-standing drought continues to tighten its grip.
		Dam levels are at record lows, and households and businesses are being urged to do all they can to conserve water.
		Weather forecasters have predicted that much of Australia is in for a warmer and drier-than-average winter.

		Australia is in desperate need of an outpouring of grace upon its people. There is a widespread need for conversion in Australia. Please pray for this intention especially between now and the feast of the Assumption (August 15).
		In addition to this Australia is experiencing a severe drought.
		Sufficient rain for Australia and that all Australia's dams and reservoirs will be filled to their full capacity.

	Dam Upgrades - SA Water
		SA Water is currently reviewing South Australia's 17 large dams (reservoirs) to make sure they meet current world standards.
		When the program is completed, the safety of the structures will be improved and the dams will have improved protection against floods and earthquakes.
		Detailed reviews and dam safety upgrade work is underway for the Hindmarsh Valley, Little Para, Millbrook, and Tod River reservoirs.

		In area, Australia ranks as the sixth largest country and smallest continent and lies between the South Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean.
		Australia has fairly plentiful underground water, but most of it is too salty for people to drink or for use as irrigation water.
		For many years, manufacturing was the leading employer in Australia, but since about 1970 manufacturing has declined in importance, while service industries have increased in importance.

	Hydroelectric power's dirty secret revealed \| EnergyBulletin.net \| Peak Oil News Clearinghouse
		Hydroelectric dams produce significant amounts of carbon dioxide and methane, and in some cases produce more of these greenhouse gases than power plants running on fossil fuels.
		This is because large amounts of carbon tied up in trees and other plants are released when the reservoir is initially flooded and the plants rot.
		In the dry season plants colonise the banks of the reservoir only to be engulfed when the water level rises.

		During 1962, the Australian National Committee on Large Dams (ANCOLD) prepared, on behalf of the International Commission of Large Dams (ICOLD), a Register of Large Dams in Australia for inclusion in their World Register of Dams.
		Since this time the Register of Large Dams in Australia has been updated on many occasions with the last updates being conducted in 2001.

	The water supply in Perth, Australia
		But the dams are all the same, the underground water still collects in the same areas, the treatment systems are the same.
		There are only so many rivers worth putting a dam across, and the most rewarding dams have all been built: 11 dams and reservoirs, strung over 75 km of the Darling Ranges, and all connected.
		Not much else needs to be said about the dams and reservoirs, unless you're an engineer and want construction details (if so, please refer to the references).

	National Mapping - Fab Facts, Landforms, Australian Lakes
		Australia is not well endowed with natural lakes containing plentiful supplies of water.
		Both rainfall and runoff can be highly variable across the continent and so many rivers have had dams containing large reservoirs constructed on them, to meet water and power supply needs.
		These lakes, held back by dams, are the largest waterbodies serving water and power supply needs.

		Rapid Reservoir Sedimentation of Four Historic Thin Arch Dams in Australia
		At the end of the 19th century, several arch dams were built in New South Wales, four of which are described in this paper.
		Although their structural design was advanced, the design of the reservoir systems (dam, lake, and catchment) was a failure.

	Public Citizen \| California State Office \| California State Office - California Water Primer
		To remedy this problem, the state, with assistance of federal government, constructed an elaborate network of dams, reservoirs, pipes, pumps and canals.
		In 1991 the San Antonio and Nacimiento reservoirs, which are used by the Monterey County Water Resources Agency, were at just 6 percent of their capacity.
		Saving water can often eliminate the need for expensive and environmentally damaging water infrastructure such as dams, reservoirs and canals, while freeing up additional water to meet the state’s needs. Low-flow toilets, for example, reduce the amount of water used per flush by over two-thirds.

		But during a search of the apartment of alleged al-Qaeda sleeper agent Ali Saleh Kahlah al-Marri, investigators said they found an almanac with bookmarked pages on major US dams, rivers, reservoirs and railroads.
		Senior editor of the World Almanac, Kevin Seabrooke, said the book, which lists notable landmarks, did not include specific locations or other details that might be useful for terrorists planning an attack.
