Authors: Sanjay Giri; Advisor: -; Participants: Pramod Narayan (2018) - Dams and reservoirs are important assets in India with strong seasonal flow pattern variations and highly increasing water and energy demands due to rapid growth of economy and population.The negative impacts of
dams and reservoirs can be attributed to poor planning, mismanagement, inefficient operations and insufficient
consideration (or negligence) of mitigation strategies. The importance of dams and reservoirs and both their positive and negative impacts should be objectively measured vis-a-vis multi-sectorial benefits, specific priorities
and demands.

Authors: Hussain, I.; Advisor: -; Participants: Cattapan, A.; Franca, M.J. (2018) - The problem might seem quite simple to analyse at a local scale; however, the sediment yield of a river basin is affected by other factors, such as surface run-off, temperature, slope stability, making the sedimentary processes more complicated to model and requiring basin scale approaches. The multipurpose Mangla Reservoir, in Pakistan, is losing its storage capacity at a yearly rate of about 0.5 % (1,970 million of m3 lost between 1967 and 2010, before up-raising the dam in 2011). The impacts of land use changes in the Mangla Dam basin were assessed, showing that the current trend will not be affected greatly if the land use remains unchanged from the present conditions. However, if large levels of deforestation occur in the future, the increase in the sedimentation rate would h...

Authors: Wang, Hsiao-Wen; Advisor: -; Participants: Kuo, Wei-Cheng (2018) - This article summarizes sediment management strategies in Taiwan, providing lessons to help guide planning and design of new dams, and establish design standards for sustainable reservoir management. This article
is complementary to other articles in this and the previous issue of Hydrolink on reservoir sedimentation, such as those by Kondolf and Schmitt, Annandale et al., Kantoush and Sumi, Lyoudi et al. who present diverse experiences and policies in managing reservoir sedimentation worldwide.

Authors: Castillo, Luis G.; Advisor: -; Participants: Carrillio, José M. (2018) - Flushing is one possible solution to mitigate the impact of reservoir impounding on the sediment balance across
a river. It prevents the blockage of safety works (e.g. bottom outlets) and the excessive sediment entrainment in the water withdrawal structures (e.g. power waterways). This study is focused on the morphological changes expected in the Paute River (Ecuador - South America) as a result of the future construction of the Paute ardenillo Dam.

Authors: Peteuil, Christophe; Advisor: -; Participants: - (2018) - The Rhône is one of the major river systems of Europe. Originating in the Swiss Alps, it flows mainly through France to the Mediterranean Sea. At the catchment outlet, the mean annual discharge is approximately 1,700 m³/s for a basin area of 95,500 km². Compared to similar catchments, the Rhône River is quite steep and its flow discharge is significant. A powerful waterway, the Rhône River is not only a source for hydropower generation but also a carrier of sediment.

Authors: Roetzel, Peter Gordon; Advisor: -; Participants: - (2019) - In the light of the information age, information overload research in new areas (e.g., social media, virtual collaboration) rises rapidly in many fields of research in business administration with a variety of methods and subjects. This review article analyzes the development of information overload literature in business administration and related interdisciplinary fields and provides a comprehensive and overarching overview using a bibliometric literature analysis combined with a snowball sampling approach. For the last decade, this article reveals research directions and bridges of literature in a wide range of fields of business administration (e.g., accounting, finance, health management, human resources, innovation management, international management, information systems, marketi...

Authors: Ha ¨ ckel, Bjo ¨ rn; Advisor: -; Participants: Ha ¨ nsch, Florian; Hertel, Michael; U ¨ belho ¨ r, Jochen (2019) - Emerging smart manufacturing technologies combine physical production networks with digital IT systems, resulting in complex smart factory networks, which are especially vulnerable to IT security risks, such as IT component nonavailabilities. Companies must employ extensive IT security measures to secure their production facilities. However, complex network structures and inherent dependencies of smart factory networks complicate corresponding investment decisions and increase the need for appropriate decision support. We develop a risk
assessment model that supports companies in the investment decision-making process regarding IT security measures by identifying and evaluating the most critical areas of the information network while considering the underlying production network. F...

Authors: MendonÇa, Ana; Advisor: -; Participants: MClelland, Stuart; Evers, Karl-Ulrich; Thom, Moritz; Santos, Paulo Rosa (2018) - The HYDRALAB+ Project is an advanced network of European research organisations that focus on physical
modelling of environmental hydraulics. The aim is to develop and improve the experimental facilities for the
investigation of expected climate change impacts to ensure that future management and adaptation measures
are effective. An important aspect of this work is to identify new or alternative experimental methods and resources to better support future work in modelling climate change impacts and adaptation strategies.

Authors: Kondolf, G. Mathias; Advisor: -; Participants: Schmitt, Rafael J. (2018) - This article focuses on the effects of sediment trapping by dams and planning/management opportunities to minimize these impacts and to restore downstream sediment supply to maintain or restore geomorphic and ecological conditions. It is complementary to other articles in this issue (e.g. Annandale et al., Efthymiou et
al.), which explore structural and management approaches to reduce sediment trapping by dams, from a perspective of improving the sustainability of reservoir storage capacity for future generations.
