USSD - United States Society on Dams

The USSD presentation, Water and Dams in Today's World, has been updated and is now available in DVD and VHS videotape formats. The presentation, available at no charge from USSD, may be used by teachers, agencies, associations, service club members, and water resources professionals to present the benefits that people realize from dams. The video was developed by the USSD Committee on Public Awareness. Request your copy of the presentation from the USSD Denver office (stephens@ussdams.org) -- be sure to indicate whether you prefer the DVD or videotape format. The Committee on Public Awareness, in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, has also developed an educational website.

The USSD website includes a series of Technical Articles and White Papers. The most recent offering is an Executive Summary of Planning Processes for the Development of Dams and Reservoirs -- Public Involvement and Alternatives Analysis: A Framework for Successful Decision-Making.

The United States Society on Dams (USSD) publishes proceedings of meetings and special reports. Prices listed below include shipping to U.S. addresses by surface mail. Contact USSD for Priority or Express Mail charges.
