The Journal of Dam Safety


The Journal of Dam Safety
The Journal of Dam Safety is a quarterly members-only publication dedicated to increasing the technical expertise of engineers, owners, operators, and others involved in dam safety.

A primary goal is to promote consistency in technical and regulatory approaches to dam safety with examples from various geographic regions, multiple types of dams, and from a variety of perspectives. Articles are selected to share valuable information, lessons learned, and promote new technologies that can benefit the dam safety community. The Journal is also a valuable source for industry news, organizational updates, and upcoming events.

We are always looking for good papers of interest to the dam safety community. If you have an exciting project or topic to share with your dam safety peers, please email Greg Paxson ([email protected]) for more information on authorship.

The Journal of Dam Safety is also a great way to reach dam and levee safety professionals. If you are interested in reaching nearly 3,000 members quarterly, please visit our advertising information page or contact Ross Brown ([email protected]) to learn more.
