Dams In Canada
21
There are over 14,000 registered dams in Canada large and small and
many more that are not registered
The Rideau Canal was Canadas first engineered system of dams
constructed in the 1830s

Typical Objectives
Typically the objectives of a dam safety program are two-fold
To ensure the long-term safe operation of a dam
To protect the public from unacceptable losses in case of a dam break

Reasons are associated with an increasing awareness that failures can and
do occur as a result of issues that cannot be readily analyzed
human error
Debris blockage
gate operation problems
instrumentation in the wrong location

Final Thoughts
Water security is dependent on dams functioning as intended
The planned program carries with it risks
even if dams are designed and constructed in accordance with average
modern standards
