Examines past failures, major incidents and problems at UK reservoirs, and considers the most likely modes of failure for dams of various types and age, and offers an easily applicable assessment procedure to determine potential floodwater levels and their impact following a failure. Also covers: methods of mitigating risks, carrying out remedial works and emergency planning in the event of dam failure. The risk assessment procedure is demonstrated on six test cases for different types of reservoir.
