How safe is safe? Experiences in Dam Safety Policy

Dam safety is a perpetual issue everywhere, when communities are located
downstream of dams. This paper reflects experiences of the related practice and considerations in Germany. The probability of dam failure will be considered from a theoretical as well as from an empirical point of view. Information necessary in drawing up special hazard and risk maps are described and evaluated. For small dams further considerations to simplify the analysis procedure will be presented.
