A decametre (International spelling as used by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures and by most English speaking countries, [1] [2] United States spelling dekameter or decameter [3] [4]), symbol dam ("da" for the SI prefix deca-, [1] "m" for the SI unit metre), is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI) equal to ten metres.
1 Paisa (पैसा) = 4 Daam (दाम) = 7.95 m 2 = 85.56 sq. ft. 1 Daam (दाम) = 1.99 m 2 = 21.39 sq. ft. The units of measurement of area of land depends on the part of the country where they are being used, with the Bigha-Katha-Dhur measurements common in the Terai region while the Ropani-Aana measurements are common in hilly and ...
11 cm = 1.1 dm – length of an average potato in the US; 13 cm = 1.3 dm – body length of a Goliath birdeater; 15 cm = 1.5 dm – approximate size of largest beetle species; 19 cm = 1.9 dm – length of a banana; 26.3 cm = 2.6 dm – length of average male human foot; 29.98 cm = 2.998 dm – distance light in vacuum travels in one nanosecond
The upper reservoir can hold about 1.5 billion US gallons (4,600 acre-feet; 5.7 million cubic metres) of water behind a wall nearly 100 feet (30 m) tall. [12] It sits 760 feet (230 m) above the 450 MW hydroelectric plant, which gives it a greater head than that of Hoover Dam.
The following table lists the largest man-made dams by volume of fill/structure. By general definition, a dam is a barrier that impounds water or underground streams, hence tailings dams are relegated to a separate list.
The project has an estimated live capacity to hold 178.74 Tmcft at its full reservoir level of 885 feet (270 m) MSL. Its gross storage capacity is 6.116 cubic km (216 tmc ft). The minimum draw-down level (MDDL) of the reservoir is at 705 feet (215 m) MSL from its river sluice gates, and corresponding dead storage is 3.42 Tmcft. [4]
Completed at a cost of $10 million, it was the largest masonry dam in the world for its time, and one of the tallest, surpassing the 135-foot Lake Hemet Dam with a height of 280 feet (84 m) and a length of 723 feet (216 m), while 1,600,000 acre-feet (2.0 km 3) Roosevelt Lake was for a time the world's largest artificial reservoir. The dam was ...
