Two Dams Now Set the Colorado River’s Post-2026 Reality

As Lake Powell and Lake Mead near critical elevations, federal planners face narrowing operational options that could reshape hydropower generation, releases and Colorado River Basin water management.

The B1M - Why America is Removing These Dams 07062023

The US is deconstructing four dams along the Klamath River

Practical Engineering - How Different Spillway Gates Work 03012023

Almost all dams need a way to release excess water when the reservoir is full. Although many dams use uncontrolled spillways, gated spillways provide more control over the flow, allowing us to build smaller, more cost-effective structures. There are countless arrangements of mechanical devices that have been used across the world and throughout history to manage the flow of water. But, modern engineering has coalesced to variations on only a few different kinds of gates.

Bloomberg Quicktake - The Huge, Weird Batteries of the Future, 04082022

As the planet gets hotter, engineers are racing to find ways to store energy on a massive scale, clearing the way for a transition to renewable electricity

Engineering with Rosie - Pump It Up When You Don't Really Need It: Pumped Hydro, Future of Energy Storage, 28072022

There is a variety of new and old technologies being developed for Electricity Storage using, sand, concrete blocks, radioactive diamonds, and lithium ion batteries. But did you know that over 90% of current electricity storage is from Pumped Hydro: it is an energy storage solution that’s been around for over 100 years, but is set for a resurgence in coming years as we need to add long duration energy storage to support electricity grids with large proportions of variable renewables

Practical Engineering - What Happens When a Reservoir Goes Dry, 19072022

Reservoirs are a solution to the tremendous variability in natural water supply, but what happens when they stop filling up?

MOXY: The Voice of Women in Infrastructure

MOXY is an online magazine platform targeting millions of women working in infrastructure from highways to alternative energy to broadband and public parks. The first publisher to curate multilingual content at this scale, MOXY empowers all women to have a bigger role in industries that offer rewarding, well-paying careers. In addition to featuring women at the helm of infrastructure projects and initiatives, the platform tackles leadership development, mental health, entrepreneurship, work-life balance, immigration, sexual harassment, and diversity — all as they relate to women who are navigating historically male-dominated interview processes, jobs sites, and board rooms. Who is speaking to the women, not just as a novelty within these industries but as players in them? Enter MOXY.
