Topic: Problems with dams, focus on analyzing and finding solutions to erosion issues

Find 10 possible sources to use in writing this paper. You must produce an annotated bibliography of these sources. They should consist of the following:

Peer-reviewed journal articles (these must make up at least three of the documents)
Academic books
Reputable websites (government agencies, academic websites, news articles, etc.; NOT popular science)

For each source, you should list the full citation in MLA style and provide an approximately 100-word summary of the work.

m_and_Spillway.html. Accessed 6 Mar. 2018.
This article presents a historical outline of the Rio Grande River linking Texas to Mexico
and how the magnificent Elephant Butte Dam has been constructed across it. The article
presents not only a historical but also a topographical view of the river and the dam. That
way, it shows a few details of the dam construction and how erosion is controlled to keep
the dam intact for that long. This article, therefore, is a valuable resource as it provides a
practical example of how dam construction has been designed to reduce erosion and
mitigate the adverse effects of the dam. That way, it will be used to inform the research
on assessing topography to come up with innovative and effective solutions to the dam
problem and erosion.

Engineer at HR Wallingford. The article presents an opportunity to view the professional
practice and how it affects dam inspection, design, and maintenance. Therefore, this
article, although varied, outlines the challenges and opportunities that engineers and other
professionals face in the field. Through it, one can understand the connection of their
experiences with dam failure and erosion as well. Therefore, the article will be u...
