The Practical Application of Risk Assessment to Dam Safety
The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) is responsible for about 370 high- and significant-hazard storage dams and dikes which form a major part of the water resources infrastructure for the western United States, including such icons as Hoover and Grand Coulee Dams. To better manage this inventory of ageing dams with limited resources, Reclamation began using comprehensive risk assessment as the primary tool for dam safety decision-making in the mid-1990's. This paper describes the basic building blocks used in Reclamation dam safety risk analyses and how they are assembled to assess risks. The results of such risk analyses are used to set priorities for additional study or risk reduction actions using Reclamation's public protection guidelines, which are also discussed.
