Mining & Minerals / Gems / Dams
English term or phrase: against the hillside slope
This Dam should NOT be used for continuous tailings discharge. It should only be used for periodic discharge, if absolutely necessary, not exceeding a few hours each week. Also the discharge should be carried out all along its length in a manner that would keep the water stored essentially against the hillside slope.
