Abstract

An overview of the book “Dams and Reservoirs in Evaporites” is presented. Actual and potential audience and expected impact are analyzed in the context of current research, as well as in the view of global climate and technological changes, and social transformations. A major purpose of authors of this book is to summarize and present the large amount of experience accumulated during the study of dams affected by gypsum and salt dissolution problems in a concise form. Organization, structure, style and presentation of the book were analyzed and found fully corresponding to content and author’s purposes. In this book, the global distribution, properties and types of evaporates are described in the book; geohazards linked with the construction of reservoirs and dams in regions with karst are analyzed; set of geoengineering techniques required to control the rock mass of evaporites is proposed; the design monitoring after construction is discussed; most interesting case studies are presented. Some limitations of this book were also analyzed. It was concluded that this book is important as it provides insight into number of major problems associated with the construction of dams in evaporites, and can be addressed to a wide range of worldwide practical and management issues.
