Description
Summary:These recommendations examine the problems of erecting permanent earth dams in water-engineering systems built to supply potable and process water. The dams in question are frozen dams, intended for operation with the impervious element and its foundation kept permanently in the frozen state. The recommendations also examine specific problems of erecting thawed dams in the Far North.
