Dams 2000
This volume presents the proceedings of Dams 2000, the 11th conference of the British Dam Society, and brings together a valuable collection of 38 papers covering a wide variety of topics related to reservoir safety and the rehabilitation of existing dams. Many of the papers are case histories describing investigations and rehabilitation of existing dams to extend asset life.
Long-term Benefits and Performance of Dams
Presents proceedings the 13th Conference of the British Dam Society held at the University of Kent, June 2004. These papers include discussion on the benefits that reservoirs can provide in terms of water supply and recreation, the environmental impact they can have, and the use of geomembranes to provide water tightness.

Dams
This book contains the proceedings of the 17th Biennial Conference of the British Dam Society, Dams: Engineering in a Social and Environmental Context. It covers practical aspects which are directly relevant to all who work in the design, construction or management of dams and reservoirs, both in the UK and abroad. Several papers cover the construction of new dams, while many address the issues that arise from the nation's ageing portfolio of existing dams, where spillway improvements or other works may be needed to comply with current standards or to provide operational improvements. The environmental impacts of all such works must be fully considered, and examples are given where habitat and amenity provision have been integral components of projects. The UK legislative and policy framework is covered, with comparisons to design standards from abroad. Other papers examine aspects of the risks that dams pose to the public, and how to analyse and minimise such risks.

Dams
This book contains the proceedings of the 17th Biennial Conference of the British Dam Society, Dams: Engineering in a Social and Environmental Context, held at the University of Leeds in September 2012. The 45 papers are grouped into seven sections, although many papers cover more than one section topic area. They share the experiences of many professionals involved in managing and designing work on dams and reservoirs, not only in the UK but in countries around the world.
Managing Dams
This book contains the proceedings of the 16th Biennial Conference of the British Dam Society, Managing dams: Challenges in a time of change, covering a wide range of topics of direct relevance to all who are involved in the engineering and management of dams and reservoirs. A major challenge in the UK is to ensure that the nation's stock of existing dams is properly managed to ensure both their safety and continued functionality. Recent improvements in the knowledge of factors influential in dam failure are presented, along with papers on remedial work for existing dams and how risk can be assessed and managed. There are several papers on the upgrade of spillways that were needed following risk analyses. New dams for water supply or hydroelectricity overseas and for flood alleviation purposes in the UK are also considered, with a range of dam types and sizes discussed.
The Prospect for Reservoirs in the 21st Century
This book contains the proceedings of the tenth biennial conference of the British Dam Society, held at the University of Wales in Bangor in 1998. Included are papers charting key issues on the future of dam engineering into the next century by eminent figures in the field of water engineering.
