Dams are barriers, built to control river flow and restrict the flow of water to create reservoirs for domestic and industrial water supply, hydroelectricity etc. They are usually built of concrete or earth and are safety critical, with significant consequences should they be breached or fail. A Panel of approved reservoir engineers is responsible for their ongoing assessment.. They are supported by ancillary structures such as spillways, intakes, outlets and sluice gates. These engineers specialise in dams.
