The commercially-available sling pump consists of a helically-wound hose within a drum-shapedbody that has a propeller at the front. A swivel coupling at the front end of the pump allows the body of the pump to rotate freely without affecting the discharge pipe. Water flowing past the propeller at the front of the unit sets the entire body of the pump in a slow rotational motion. Alternating slugs of air and water enter the intake of the spiral hose and are forced along the pipe by the rotational motion of the pump. The sling pump can also be powered by the wind, instead of flowing water. Because the swivel coupling is the only mechanical component comprising the pump, it is virtually maintenance-free. 2, record 7, English, - sling%20pump

Willow Creek Lake is a flood control project designed to protect the city of Heppner, Oregon. In 1903, Heppner experienced one of the most devastating floods in the history of the United States. Two hundred forty-seven people perished in a flash flood. The project will prevent a recurrence of a similar disaster. Storage for irrigation is also part of the project. A lake for water conservation and irrigation is maintained at elevation 2063. When a flash flood occurs, the flood waters will be caught and stored, and slowly released until the lake returns to elevation 2063. 3, record 15, English, - flood%20waters

Flood water spreading is a method that follows numbers of purposes. Some example of these are: to stabilise drifting sand, to control erosion, to develop artificial forestlands, to make changes the environment of the belt zones around desert, to satisfy water requirement, to remove sediment carried by flood-water for changing the bare lands to farm lands, to control ground water quality by preventing the intrusion of saltwater into water bearing aquifer. 1, record 16, English, - flood%20water%20spreading

There are bound to be rainstorms whose water the soil cannot fully absorb - a point of major importance in arid and semi-arid areas, for this water can be collected and used to improve productivity locally. The following four water management methods and erosion control structures apply: . runoff harvesting (catching runoff for supplementary irrigation); . total absorption or infiltration; . runoff diversion (redirecting excess water); . runoff spreading (distribution of runoff energy). ... Structures to dissipate runoff energy. When rainfall exceeds the soil's absorption capacity, the sheet runoff can be controlled by spreading it across the whole slope rather than concentrating it in channels and outlets, where it can cause problems. Its energy can be dispersed by keeping the speed below 25 cm ... Such dispersion across the slope is achieved partly by cropping techniques that keep the soil surface rough (clods, many grass stalks, effect of weeds and mulching, etc.) and partly by structures such as permeable microdams, which temporarily slow the flow, allow some sedimentation, spread the flood, reduce peak flows and improve absorption. 1, record 17, English, - runoff%20spreading
