On Fig 1 you could have displayed also a Dam Section with not only a Drainage Blanquet but also a Vertical or Chimney Drain (like we have in large Dams.<br />2. One must remaind the fact that not all Monitoring Instrumengts in the Dam Body mnust have only automated readings. Only those with more importante results. We must have others with manual readings, so that people are forced to came to the Instrument terminal and in doing so, perform also na indirect Visual Inspection. Otherwise it becomes a 'Game' and any problems that may arise between monitored sections of Dam Body may remain undetected, until it may be too late. And also, the electrical or electronic componente to allow for automatic readings slhoud not be a 'Black box' because, whenever doubts arise, you'll need to performe manual readings and also operational testing.Rjcardiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02541854163537424424noreply@blogger.com
