Dam and Reservoir Safety
One of the missions of the Water Resources Center is to ensure that dams in the state are constructed, maintained and operated in a safe manner. This is accomplished by regulation of all non-agricultural, non-federal dams more than 35 feet in height and by providing technical assistance and informational resources to all dam owners.
