Dam safety is a research area focused on assessing and mitigating risks associated with the construction, operation, and maintenance of dams. This includes evaluating the structural integrity of dams, monitoring water levels and flow rates, and ensuring proper maintenance and upkeep of dam infrastructure. The goal of dam safety research is to prevent dam failures and minimize the potential impacts of such events on downstream communities and the environment. Researchers in this field work to develop and implement strategies to improve the safety and reliability of dams, often through the use of advanced monitoring technologies and risk assessment techniques.
