Creative Solutions to Dam Safety Issues
To help overcome the financial burden of the engineering analyses associated with rehabilitation of privately owned dams, a unique partnership has been developed between dam owners, Rowan University, and the local engineering community. Undergraduate engineering students have been working with a faculty member to conduct hydraulic and hydrologic analyses and flood inundation mapping, as part of the Engineering Clinic program at Rowan. The results of this project are being evaluated by a team of external practicing engineers, and then submitted to the New Jersey Bureau of Dam Safety and Flood Control for regulator review. Involving students in all aspects of the dam evaluation introduces many concepts not included in traditional classroom instruction, such as the ecological benefits (and detriments) of small dams. In addition, students are exposed to the socio-economic and political realities that engineers must contend with in professional practice. Thus, having students work on a real-world analysis and design project provides an all-around win-win situation: Students work on a unique educational opportunity; the dam owner receives valuable services; State regulators are satisfied; and public safety is upheld.
