Dam break is a serious social disaster, which causes a great deal of damage to the society and environment. In this paper, a 3D turbulence model coupled with the Volume of Fluid (VOF) method for the dam-break flood propagating is established, the loss of life resulting from dam failure is calculated by the modified Graham method, a statistical method is used for the economic loss, the main factors for social and environmental impacts are introduced, and finally the linear weighting method is carried out for comprehensive evaluation and analysis of dam-break consequences. The dam-break consequences of Dongwushi reservoir in Handan is taken as a case, the life loss, the economic loss, as well as social and environmental impacts are analyzed, and then a comprehensive evaluation of the dam-break consequences carried out.

The comprehensive evaluation of the dam-break consequences is an issue of crucial importance for defending natural disasters, protecting socio-economic and sustaining ecological development. The consequences of dam-break were analyzed, including life loss, economic loss and the social and environmental influence. The loss of life evaluation based on the improved Graham method was introduced. Depth, velocity and other hydraulic parameters of dam-break flood were obtained by the three-dimensional numerical simulation, which has proved to be a useful tool for dam-break consequences. AHP method was adopted to measure the weight of each factor. Grey fuzzy comprehensive evaluation of dam-break consequences was proposed. QING LINJING reservoir in Shenzhen was taken as a case. The results show that it will cause serious incidents once QING LINJING reservoir dam breaks.

In this paper,the basic situation of Guangxi luocheng Kama reservoir and the potential dangers are introduced firstly, and then,different models often used to estimate the loss of life in dam failure at home and abroad are introduced and analysed.Based on the above, a suitable model for national actual situation is chosen to predict the loss due to this reservoir dam breach,and the severity according to the calculation result of assuming Kama reservoir dam-break is assessed. Finally, the relevant departments’s measures of rescuing and evacuating downstream masses etc. at danger in 2009 are proved to be correct,necessary and timely.

A 2D numerical model based on Boltzmann equation and an unstructured FVM grid with a kinetic flux vector splitting (KFVS) scheme was developed to simulate dam break-wave. As an example, propagation of the dam-break wave of one reservoir dam at Yuhang District of Hangzhou in Hangzhou was simulated by this model. Using regional economy, population, and geography data of 2008, the economic loss caused by dam failure was evaluated. The result shows that total economic loss is about 20% of the GDP in Yuhang, which is close to the conclusion of some existing researches. It is foreseeable that this method would to be used more widely in Zhejiang for dam safety management.

Consequences of dam-break are affected by many factors, which are of a certain degree of ambiguity. Influencing factors of dam-break consequences are summarized in this paper. At first, weights of influencing factors are determined by means of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), thereafter, the fuzzy hierarchy synthesis evaluation model for dam failure is developed. Finally, Qing Linjing reservoir located in Shenzhen of China is taken as a case. The fuzzy comprehensive evaluation for the risk analysis of dam-break and the risk grades of dam-break consequences are obtained. The results indicate that it is reasonable and valuable to evaluate the risk of dam-break by using fuzzy comprehensive evaluation.

Corporate Social Responsibilityis a concept that a company has various forms of responsibility to all stakeholders including consumers, employees, shareholders, communities and the environment in all aspects of the company's operations that include economic, social, and environmental aspects. Therefore CSR is closely related to "sustainable development", in which a company, in carrying out its activities must base its decisions not only on the impact on economic aspects, such as the level of profits or dividends (profits), but also must consider the social and environmental impacts that arise from that decision, both for the short term and the longer term.Pondok Modern Darussalam Gontor (PMDG), in managing its Productive Waqf by establishing business units which mostly involve workers from the local society around PMDG. They are employed according to their skills. This is a form of implementing CSR in order to help advance and improve the welfare of the local society. The existence of these various business units is one of the educational facilities and as a form of CSR application which is actually intended to educate in the fields of independence, entrepreneurship, sincerity and sacrifice.PMDG involvement in social activities that are useful for the local society such as infrastructure development and village facilities, regeneration of students who are from around PMDG to be able to get higher education with funding from the PMDG, doing guidance to the local society through various religious activities, educational and economic activities is a form of PMDG responsibility to the local society environment and also to all stakeholders such as students, Ustadz, employees, so as to provide social and environmental impacts for the short term and the longer term.Keywords: Corporate Social Responsibilityandproductive waqf.

Dam-break flood waves represent a severe threat to people and properties located in downstream regions. Although dam failure has been among the main subjects investigated in academia, little effort has been made toward investigating wave propagation under the influence of tailwater depth. This work presents three-dimensional (3D) numerical simulations of laboratory experiments of dam-breaks with tailwater performed at the Laboratory of Hydraulics of Iskenderun Technical University, Turkey. The dam-break wave was generated by the instantaneous removal of a sluice gate positioned at the center of a transversal wall forming the reservoir. Specifically, in order to understand the influence of tailwater level on wave propagation, three tests were conducted under the conditions of dry and wet downstream bottom with two different tailwater depths, respectively. The present research analyzes the propagation of the positive and negative wave originated by the dam-break, as well as the wave reflection against the channel’s downstream closed boundary. Digital image processing was used to track water surface patterns, and ultrasonic sensors were positioned at five different locations along the channel in order to obtain water stage hydrographs. Laboratory measurements were compared against the numerical results obtained through FLOW-3D commercial software, solving the 3D Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) with the k-ε turbulence model for closure, and Shallow Water Equations (SWEs). The comparison achieved a reasonable agreement with both numerical models, although the RANS showed in general, as expected, a better performance.

The 3# bulb turbine in Hongjiang Hydropower Plant has faced the problem of output deficiency since its commission in Sept. 2003, which caused a large economic loss. Following simple theoretical analyses on the main factors affecting the turbine’s output and efficiency, the field test schemes were determined to measure the shapes and intervals of guide vanes and runner blades of the 3#, 5# and 6# turbines. The test results discover that the average blade intervals of the 3# turbine are generally less than those of the 5# one. Suggestions on runner blade installation adjustment and combined curve modification are given.
