The reservoir and surrounding parklands closed last August to allow for the dam inspections when the reservoir level was at its lowest since due to drought conditions making these structures accessible. Reclamation employees deliver reliable water and hydropower for the western United States. The public may apply to use Reclamation land, facilities, and waterbodies, and may engage in the use only after proper authorization is received from Reclamation.

Use authorizations are not required for permitted public recreational use of recreation areas and facilities open to the public. Reclamation projects have created a variety of recreation opportunities on the rivers downstream from the dams, including world class whitewater rafting and fishing opportunities. RISE is an open data system for viewing, accessing, and downloading Reclamation's water and water-related data.

Most engineering properties of hardened cement pastes and concrete, such as strength, shrinkage, permeability, etc. The ingress of chloride ion into concrete can cause steel corrosion and damage of steel reinforced concrete structure.

This paper reviews the pore structure characteristics and transport mechanisms of chloride ion, such as hydrostatic advection, capillary suction, diffusion, thermal migration and electrical migration, in hardened cement pastes and concrete.

McCarter, G. Starrs, T. Copeland, J. The subsequent revisions of these two documents Bureau of Reclamation, and , particularly chapter 7 of the Concrete Manual, have formed the basis for nearly all concrete repair performed on Reclamation projects during the past 25 years.

It has become apparent that there is need for modernization and expansion of the information on the methods, materials, and procedures of concrete repair originally found in chapter 7 of the Concrete Manual. This Guide to Concrete Repair results from recognition of that need. It is designed to serve as a companion document to the "Standard Specifications for Repair of Concrete" included in appendix A of this guide.

This guide first discusses Reclamation's methodology for concrete repair. It then addresses the more common causes of damage to Reclamation concrete, including suggestions of the types of repair methods and materials most likely to be successful in repairing concrete damage resulting from those causes.
