Avant-propos
Le prsent lexique traite de tous les
types de barrages, qu'ils soient
construits des fins de production
d'lectricit ou des fins d'irri-
gation, de navigation intrieure,
de protection contre les crues,
d'alimentation en eau des agglom-
rations, de drivation, de loisirs,
etc., ou encore qu'ils remplissent
plusieurs de ces fonctions.
Si le mot barrage voque souvent
l'image de gigantesques masses de
bton qu'on aurait riges pour
dfier les forces de la nature, il
dsigne galement des ouvrages plus
modestes, faits de matriaux moins
durables, qui ncessitent une
protection spciale contre l'action
rosive des eaux. Il existe mme
des barrages gonflables (en Noprne)
et d'autres, dits mobiles , qui
s'abaissent ou que l'on peut abaisser
lorsque le niveau de l'eau est trop
lev.
Sans tre exhaustive, la prsente
nomenclature numre la plupart des
types de barrages existants; elle
runit notamment les termes qui en
dsignent le rle, la configuration
et les matriaux constituants. S'y
trouve, en outre, le vocabulaire
de base des amnagements hydro-
lectriques, de mme que les
principaux termes s'appliquant aux
parties des barrages fixes ou mobiles
et aux ouvrages annexes. Y figurent
enfin quelques termes d'hydraulique
qui touchent au domaine l'tude.
En sont exclues, cependant, la
terminologie de l'appareillage
lectrique des centrales, celle des
instruments enregistreurs et des
quipements gnrateurs de puissance,
de mme que celle des diffrents
types de vannes.
Foreword
This glossary contains terms related
to all types of dams, whether built
to produce electricity or for other
purposes, including irrigation,
inland navigation, flood control,
municipal water supply, diversion and
recreation. Some even fulfil more
than one of these functions.
Though the word "dam" often evokes
an image of huge concrete structures
erected as a challenge to the forces
of nature, they can be small in size
and made of less durable materials
(which need to be protected against
the erosive effects of water).
Indeed, there are inflatable
dams made of Neoprene as well as
collapsible dams that can in an
emergency situation be lowered onto
the riverbed.
This glossary is not meant to be
exhaustive, but it does cover most
types of dams in existence, their
purpose, configuration, and
constituent materials. It contains
a basic vocabulary for hydro-electric
facilities, for the component parts
of fixed and collapsible dams and
related structures. Also included
are some of the terms used in
hydraulics that are most relevant to
the subject matter at hand. Terms
relating to electrical equipment,
recording instruments, power gener-
ating equipment, gates, and gate
operation have been excluded.

Notes explicatives
Pour faciliter la consultation,
les entres du prsent lexique sont
ranges dans l'ordre alphabtique
absolu.
Le point-virgule spare les diverses
faons de rendre un terme, une
expression.
Les parenthses signalent un lment
facultatif du terme.
Les explications entre crochets ne
font pas partie du terme : elles
prcisent son domaine d'application
(ex. : mise en eau [d'un barrage
rservoir]), renseignent sur son
utilisation gographique (ex. : pool
[US]) ou signalent le genre en regard
des noms franais peu connus
(ex. : drme [n.f.]).
User's Guide
In order to facilitate consultation,
French and English entries have been
classified in strict alphabetical
order.
A semi-colon is used to separate
different renderings of a term or
expression.
Parentheses enclose an optional
element of a term.
Square brackets contain information
that does not form part of the term.
They are used to indicate field (eg
priming [of a storage dam]),
geographic usage (eg pool [US]), or
the gender of relatively unfamiliar
French nouns (eg drme [n.f.]).
