La mise en visibilité des eaux souterraines au Maroc : un processus historiquement lié aux politiques de développement de l’irrigation by Kévin Del Vecchio, Marcel Kuper

“…Despite discourses promoting the preservation of these resources, the adopted solutions reflect the historical objectives of hydraulic and agricultural policies. The current situation of groundwater overexploitation is currently redefined as a problem of a lack of water resources, justifying the implementation of new infrastructure aimed at increasing the global supply of water resources.…”

Adaptive Landing Gear: Optimum Control Strategy and Potential for Improvement by Grzegorz Mikułowski, Łukasz Jankowski

“…An adaptive landing gear is a landing gear (LG) capable of active adaptation to particular landing conditions by means of controlled hydraulic force. The objective of the adaptive control is to mitigate the peak force transferred to the aircraft structure during touch-down, and thus to limit the structural fatigue factor. …”

The Experimental Investigation of the Optimization of the Flow State of a Ladder-Shaped Spillway in a Certain Reservoir by Xin-Bao Gu, Yang Zhang, Qi-Hong Wu, Yong Wang

“…The original design scheme of ladder-shaped spillways in certain reservoirs is improved by using a hydraulic similar model experiment. The results of the original scheme demonstrate that the stilling basin cannot meet the requirement of safe discharge, and the flow state at the end of the stilling basin is violent and chaotic. …”
