| 摘要： | Although the shortest distance between two points is, famously, a straight line, that shortest distance is not necessarily the best solution to certain engineering challenges. That is what the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers determined during the Isabella Lake Dam Safety Modification Project that entailed the design of a weir for a new emergency spillway as part of a dam safety improvement effort. The nearly $650 million project, roughly 40 mi northeast of Bakers-field, California, began construction in 2017, was substantially completed in late 2022, and was scheduled for full completion by the end of May. The overall project is designed to reduce the risk of flooding in the southern Central Valley region of the Golden State by addressing overtopping, seismic, and seepage concerns at the two earthen dams that impound Lake Isabella, an artificial reservoir that serves as the primary water source throughout the Kern County region. |
