This book contains the proceedings of the 19th Biennial Conference of the British Dam Society, Dams - Benefits or Disbenefits; Assets or Liabilities? Work to reservoirs and dams today covers far more than engineering, and the papers in this book show how engineers integrate their work with other disciplines to minimise the adverse impacts of schemes that are essential to ensure the safety of the public, while maximising other potential benefits to society.
