Fürstenteich
The Fürstenteich is a reservoir near Silberhütte in the German state of Saxony-Anhalt. It has an earth-filled dam with an impervious core. It impounds the Teufelsgrundbach stream. Construction The dam was based on sedimented shale and has an internal impervious core of organic clays (grass sods). During renovation work about 70 cm of the surface layer on the old downstream face was removed and replaced by layers of shale material. That was covered with a 10 cm thick layer of topsoil sown with grass seed. On the upstream side, 60 cm was removed and on a 30 cm thick layer of stone chippings a similarly thick protective layer of ballast. The dam was also raised in height by about 1 metre. After removing 90 cm of the old dam crest, a metre-wide toe wall was integrated from the subgrade (''Planum''). This extends as far as the cohesive earth material of the old dam core. The old wooden outlet channel (''Striegelgerinne'') is still there, but no longe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Rivers Of Saxony-Anhalt
A river is a natural flowing watercourse, usually freshwater, flowing towards an ocean, sea, lake or another river. In some cases, a river flows into the ground and becomes dry at the end of its course without reaching another body of water. Small rivers can be referred to using names such as creek, brook, rivulet, and rill. There are no official definitions for the generic term river as applied to geographic features, although in some countries or communities a stream is defined by its size. Many names for small rivers are specific to geographic location; examples are "run" in some parts of the United States, "burn" in Scotland and northeast England, and "beck" in northern England. Sometimes a river is defined as being larger than a creek, but not always: the language is vague. Rivers are part of the water cycle. Water generally collects in a river from precipitation through a drainage basin from surface runoff and other sources such as groundwater recharge, springs, a ...
