dam safety

Dam safety involves the proactive management and maintenance of dams to prevent structural failure and ensure the safety of communities downstream. It includes regular inspections, monitoring for signs of wear or damage, controlling water levels, and implementing emergency action plans. Proper dam safety practices help prevent flooding, protect lives and property, and preserve environmental health. By adhering to engineering standards and safety regulations, dam operators minimize risks and ensure the dam functions reliably during normal conditions and in extreme weather events.
