Theme: Sustainable and Safe Dams Around the World

Innovation: Recent advancements and techniques for investigation, design, construction, operation and maintenance of water or tailings dams and spillways.
Sustainable Development: Planning, design, construction, operation, decommissioning and closure management strategies for water resources or tailings dams (e.g. climate change, sedimentation, environmental protection, risk management).
Hazards: Design mitigation and management of hazards to water or tailings dams, appurtenant structures, spillways and reservoirs (e.g. floods, seismic, landslides).
Extreme Conditions: Management for water or tailings dams (e.g. permafrost and ice loading, arid/wet climates, geo-hazards).
