1 The old drainage below the dam through the city is now the site of numerous houses. Severe destruction would result from the dam failure.P1274 Environmental Geology and Geologic Hazards in Utah Photograph Collectionp1274n028
2 Blasting for an interstate highway in the immediate vicinity of a dam. Concrete railing of dam appears in lower right corner. Vibrations, whether natural (earthquake) or manmade, may damage structures on sensitive foundations.P1274 Environmental Geology and Geologic Hazards in Utah Photograph Collectionp1274n034
3 Leakage through the undisturbed abutment of an earthfill dam, measured in a wooden weir.P1274 Environmental Geology and Geologic Hazards in Utah Photograph Collectionp1274n026
4 Looking downstream from the crest of the same earthfill dam (p1274n026). Note urban area at mouth of canyon.P1274 Environmental Geology and Geologic Hazards in Utah Photograph Collectionp1274n027

6 A reservoir showing the earth-fill dam and a landslide block separated from the abutment in the foreground. Opposite abutment is an ancient landslide.P1274 Environmental Geology and Geologic Hazards in Utah Photograph Collectionp1274n024
7 Looking across a dam towards a massive ancient landslide. Recent highway construction has rejuvenated landsliding just below the spillway; note receding hillside under arrow.P1274 Environmental Geology and Geologic Hazards in Utah Photograph Collectionp1274n029
8 Reservoir slopes failing just upstream from dam. A failure overtopping the road would cause turbidity in the drinking water for a large city since the intake is directly downstream and in line with the current.P1274 Environmental Geology and Geologic Hazards in Utah Photograph Collectionp1274n033
