Annotation Long-term Benefits and Performance of Damspresents proceedings the 13th Conference of the British Dam Society held at the University of Kent, June 2004. The papers include discussion on the benefits that reservoirs can provide in terms of water supply and recreation and also on the environmental impact they can have. The use of new materials in reservoir construction is discussed, in particular the use of geomembranes to provide water tightness Several papers describe portfolio risk assessments undertaken both in the UK and overseas, and various other issues related to reservoir management are covered, including changes in the enforcement of UK reservoir safety legislation The issue of climate change and its effect on reservoir safety is considered and there is an update on European research into dambreak analysis. A number of flood alleviation schemes involving flood storage reservoirs are described, with particular emphasis on hydraulic controls and environmental aspects Long-term benefits and performance of dams also contains case histories of dam failures and 'near misses', which are described with the lessons that can be learnt from them. Various studies and works to rehabilitate a number of dams of differing types, sizes and age are also described. Dams Congresses. Dams Congresses.
