University of Salford academics have published a study, which shows that the flow of fresh water to Iraq via the Diyala River has been depleted by man-made regulation at its source in Iran, and have called for a treaty to protect Iraq’s water supply.
The Diyala River forms a natural border between Iran and Iraq for around 20 miles. It flows from Iran’s Zagros Mountains into eastern Iraq and joins the Tigris near Baghdad.
The new research shows that there has been a sharp shift in the flow of the Diyala during the last 15 years which cannot be attributed to climate change and dry spells alone. The reduction correlates with the building of dams, large-scale irrigation schemes, fish farms, and the industrial and municipal use of water upstream in Iran, causing the dwindling of the river’s flow into Iraq.
New York City to Hoboken, New Jersey
Completed 1908
...[O]ne of the greatest engineering feats ever accomplished, greater perhaps than the Panama Canal will be when opened, considering the obstacles which had to be overcome...
- The New York Times, 1908
A transportation tunnel under the Hudson River connecting Manhattan and New Jersey was first considered in the 1860s, fueled by New York City's rapidly growing congestion and the inadequacy of existing ferry service to population centers across the river. DeWitt Clinton Haskin, an engineer formerly with the Union Pacific Railroad, started the project in 1874 and subsequently endured an extended lawsuit, several failures of the tunnel wall, and an exhaustion of funds before quitting in 1887 with only 1,600 feet completed.
Two years later, a British team took up the project only to be halted in 1891 by a financial crisis, just 1,600 feet short of completion. William G. McAdoo, a Southern attorney who later served as Secretary of the Treasury under President Woodrow Wilson, finally completed the tunneling project. McAdoo later added another tunnel, extended the rail line into upper Manhattan, and helped connect its 33rd Street station, later known as Pennsylvania Station, with commercial real-estate development.
Facts
-The Hudson and Manhattan tunnel was the first large transportation tunnel constructed under a major river in the United States. A bridge connecting Manhattan and New Jersey was considered a more tenuous possibility because the Hudson River's bottom was known to consist solely of deep mud in some places.
DeWitt Haskin's work plan involved sealing the tunnel and filling it with 35 pounds of air pressure to expel water and hold the tunnel's iron-plate liners in place. Workers entered through a concrete wall equipped with an air lock. Unfortunately, the compressed air could not keep the tunnel walls sealed, and blow-outs occurred in 1880 and 1882, flooding the work site.
- A British engineer, Sir Thomas Cochrane, used compressed air in devising the first pneumatic caisson -- or air-tight chamber -- in 1830. In the early 1870s, James Buchanan Eads used pneumatic caissons in constructing the foundations for his celebrated Eads Bridge crossing the Mississippi River at St. Louis, Missouri.
- The British team adapted technology used in the 1860s construction of London's subway by combining a shield to support the tunnel walls with Haskin's application of pneumatic pressure to the work face. The Greathead shield, named after its designer, has served as a prototype for all subsequent tunneling equipment.
- William McAdoo recommenced work in 1902, hiring Charles Jacobs as his chief engineer. Jacobs had built the first underwater tunnel in the city, an eight-foot-diameter bore for gas mains under the East River. Before completing the tunnel, the pair encountered solid rock that took 11 months of careful blasting to excavate.
- The Hudson and Manhattan Railroad Company formed the basis for the Port Authority Trans-Hudson (PATH) system in northeastern New Jersey and Manhattan that today extends 14 miles, includes 13 stations, and serves more than 200,000 passengers a day.

The City of Hoover has seen enormous growth in its sports programs over the past 10 years and needed a new complex that would fulfill their existing needs, allow for growth and give the City the ability to create new revenue streams and take advantage of sports tourism by hosting large tournament events. Hoover had not built any new athletic facilities in 15 years. At the same time the City’s sports participation had increased by multiples of 200% - 500% depending on the sport. The growth was caused by increases in both youth and adult sports leagues, as well as the relatively recent popularity of additional sports.
The multi-purpose Finley Center, which connects to the existing Hoover Met baseball stadium with a covered walkway, is able to accommodate a full-size football or soccer field, nine regulation-size basketball courts, 12 regulation-size volleyball courts or six indoor tennis courts. It can also seat 2,400 for banquets and 5,000 for events with general seating, such as a graduation ceremony or concert. Additional features of the indoor facility include a recreational walking track suspended 14 feet in the air, an athletic training and rehab center, and a food court.
The Finley Center sits on a 120 acre site that GMC master planned and includes fields for soccer, lacrosse, football, baseball and softball, tennis courts, a play ground walking track and splash pad.
Goodwyn, Mills and Cawood (GMC) provided master planning, architecture, interior design, civil engineering, construction materials testing, and environmental engineering services for this project.

This weekend, MassDOT replaced one of the I-195 bridges over Fairhaven's River Avenue using four prefabricated bridge units (or PBUs, to short). In this photo, you can see the third PBU being erected, while the fourth waits on the bed of a truck. The units weigh approximately 50 tons each.
Using accelerated bridge construction techniques on this project is reducing the duration of in-the-road construction activities from months to days. This is MassDOT's fourth project to use PBUs.
