Guidance of the International Commission on Large Dams (ICOLD)

In 1987, ICOLD produced Bulletin No. 59 Dam Safety Guidelines. Many other bulletins related to specific aspects of dam design and safety are available from ICOLD. An electronic version of the Publications catalogue can be downloaded from the ICOLD website.

The design and management focused bulletins all involve dam safety. A selection of more specific dams-safety related titles are listed below as examples:
