Series: ICOLD Bulletins Series

ICOLD Bulletin 167, Regulation of Dam Safety: An Overview of Current Practices Worldwide, provides a comprehensive review of legal and regulatory arrangements for the safety of dams among the countries represented at ICOLD. As such, this review is essentially a snapshot of the situation being in place at the end of the first and the beginning of the second decade in the 21st century.

This Bulletin is useful not only to these countries which have weak or non-existent legal and regulatory dam safety frameworks but also to these jurisdictions which are considering changes and improvements to existing legislation and regulations.

Le Bulletin 167 de la CIGB, Reglementation de la Securité des Barrages: Revue Internationale des Practiques Actuelles, fournit une revue complète des dispositions légales et réglementaires en matière de sécurité des barrages au sein de pays représentés à la CIGB. À ce titre, cette revue est une photographie instantanée de la situation autour des années 2010.

Il peut être utile non seulement pour les pays qui ont un cadre juridique et réglementaire réduit ou inexistant pour la sécurité des barrages, mais également à ceux qui envisagent des changements et des améliorations de leurs législations et réglementations en vigueur.

The Commission Internationale des Grands Barrages (CIGB) / International Commission on Large Dams (ICOLD) is a non-governmental International Organization which provides a forum for the exchange of knowledge and experience in dam engineering. The Organization leads the profession in ensuring that dams are built safely, efficiently, economically, and without detrimental effects on the environment. Its original aim was to encourage advances in the planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of large dams and their associated civil works, by collecting and disseminating relevant information and by studying related technical questions. Since the late sixties, focus was put on subjects of current concern such as dam safety, monitoring of performance, reanalysis of older dams and spillways, effects of ageing and environmental impact. More recently, new subjects include cost studies at the planning and construction stages, harnessing international rivers, information for the public at large, and financing.
