National Dam Safety Program Research Needs Workshop: Seepage Through Embankment Dams. Held in Denver, Colorado on October 17-19, 2000
This workshop is part of a series of workshops being sponsored by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and administered by the Association of State Dam Safety Officials (ASDSO). This workshop was organized and facilitated by URS Corporation, under contract with ASDSO, and under the guidance of the ASDSO Seepage Advisory Committee. The product of the workshop is this written report, produced by URS and ASDSO, documenting the results of the workshop. The report will be included in FEMAs National Dam Safety Program Act Report Series. The workshop consisted of convening and facilitating a group of experts with respect to dam safety issues associated with seepage through embankments and their foundations. The objectives of the workshop and the resulting written report were to document: (1) The state-of-practice, as opposed to state-of-the-art, concerning seepage and internal erosion of embankment dams and foundations; (2) The short-term (immediate) and long-term research needs of the Federal and non-Federal dam safety communities with respect to this issue; and (3) A recommended course of action for the Federal and non-Federal dam safety communities to address these needs based on priorities relating to potential benefit, probability of success, and cost. The workshop was held in Denver, Colorado, on October 17, 18, and 19, 2000. The workshop was a successful undertaking that produced open communication among a wide range of experts in the field and identified research and development opportunities that could significantly improve the state-of-the-practice in the field.
