Abstract/Additional Information
Since the early 1980s, the National Inventory of Dams (NID) has served as a central repository for information about dams in the U.S. and its territories that meet specific criteria. The congressionally authorized database shows the location of these dams and serves as a resource to support awareness and preparedness for a dam-related emergency.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is responsible for maintaining the NID and closely collaborates with federal and state dam regulating agencies to obtain accurate and complete information about dams in the database.
USACE has updated the NID to provide easy access to available dam information.
