Dam safety issue
All > Science > Water
- Dam safety related issues and concerns are those which, if not adequately addressed could/would:
1 - Lead to a failure or malfunction reulting in an uncontrolled release of stored water that would place the downstream population potentially at risk or;
2 - Compromise the agency's ability to detect developing adverse dam performance and prudently respond to that performance.
