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.
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
In hydrology, discharge is the volumetric flow rate (volume per time, in units of m 3 /h or ft 3 /h) of a stream. It equals the product of average flow velocity (with dimension of length per time, in m/h or ft/h) and the cross-sectional area (in m 2 or ft 2). [1] It includes any suspended solids (e.g. sediment), dissolved chemicals like CaCO
The Mullaperiyar Dam is a gravity dam made with concrete prepared from limestone and "surkhi" (burnt brick powder), and faced with rubble. [25] Gravity dams use their weight and the force of gravity to support the reservoir and remain stable. [3] [26] The main dam has a maximum height of 53.6 m (176 ft) and length of 365.7 m (1,200 ft). Its ...
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.

It is 512 m (1,680 ft) long, 145 metres (476 ft) maximum height and has 12 radial crest gates. It has a reservoir of 616 square kilometres (238 sq mi). 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).
