Dam

This 224-page book traces the development of dams from the Industrial Revolution to the present day through a number of themes – both successes and failures – including the extension of the design teams forming an alliance between engineering, architecture, landscape architecture and ecology. A profusely illustrated exploration of a previously neglected subject, this book offers an account of dam design, construction and function, aimed at dam engineers, environmentalists, historians and students. The author is a Visiting Lecturer at the University of Bath, and has worked in water and environmental management since the early 1970
