Foreword
The theme of the 22nd USSD Conference was Dams - Innovations
for Sustainable Water Resources. The technical program was organized by the
USSD Committee on Concrete, with support from the Committees on Construction
and Rehabilitation, and Environmental Effects. The Conference focused on RCC
dam technologies, with an emphasis on Olivenhain Dam, being constructed by the
San Diego County Water Authority. RCC dam construction in South America was
featured in several papers. Also included were papers on project delivery
methods, environmental management, permitting and other contemporary dam
issues. Papers were presented during concurrent Technical Sessions and a Poster
Session.
A total of 59 papers are included in this Proceedings.
Authors include specialists with broad experience from government agencies,
utilities, academia, water districts, consulting firms and private industry.
