美国怀俄明州的丰特纳尔坝在去年年中首次发现东坝肩漏水,为了找其原因,最近共布置了400多个测试仪器。垦务局的工程师们在今年6月份的一次集会上向当地居民保证说:该局管辖的这座坝不会有危险。然而,鉴于还没有查清造成漏水的原因,而且坝体又未进行修补,故垦务局还是降低了这座水库的蓄水位(即由1983米高程降到1980米高程)。 The Fontenay Dam in Wyoming, the United States, discovered for the first time in mid-last year the leakage of the east abutment. In order to find the reason, more than 400 testing instruments were recently deployed. At a rally in June this year, the engineers of the Bureau of Reclamation assured the local residents that the dam under the jurisdiction of the Bureau would not be in danger. However, given that the cause of the leakage was not yet ascertained and the dam has not been repaired, the Bureau also reduced the reservoir’s water level (that is, from a 1983-meter elevation to an 1980-meter elevation).
