Aim of the program
Dam Safety and Reservoir Management
Demand for water is steadily increasing throughout the world and conflicting interests
generate a complex and delicate field of work. Multi-purpose dams and dikes play a major
role for water supply and flood protection. Often, these structures are old, rehabilitated
over time and the knowledge on their actual safety and state of operation is limited. As
a consequence many countries introduced new policies and legislation to improve dam
safety and to secure water availability.
The Netherlands are situated in a large delta area with many rivers and reservoirs regulated by a system of dams, dikes, locks and movable storm surge barriers to manage the water for irrigation, inland shipping, fishing, water supply and flood protection. Deltares has been intensively involved in this since the 1930s. Additionally, Deltares experts have built up worldwide experience on reservoirs and river catchments, e.g. in Australia, Azerbaijan, Brazil, Columbia, India, Indonesia, Vietnam, Singapore, USA and many other countries. This knowledge, know-how and open software tools are shared with the international community in the Dam Safety and Reservoir Management program.
The aim of the two week program is to provide the participants with:• Insights in modelling of dams, risk management, safety assessment and emergency
planning.• Knowledge for improvements in Operations and Maintenance (O&M), flood control and
reservoir performance (sedimentation, inflow forecasting and water quality). • Inspiration for new approaches and solutions in dam and reservoir management.• Governance and organisational aspects of water management.• Know-how and training of practical (software) tools.

The program is intended for:
• Engineers, geologists, scientists and technicians who are involved in Operations and Maintenance (O&M), safety of dams and optimization of reservoir performance.
• Project managers, responsible officers and other decision-makers who are concerned with dam safety, flood risk management and reservoir management.
The Deltares Academy provides a certificate of participation after completion of the program.
