| Dam and Public Safety |

Water Management Structures, also known as Dams, can serve many purposes. They are often used to maintain water levels to protect fish and aquatic habitat during times of drought, to maintain lake levels for water recreation purposes, to manage water during flooding, to break up ice and to prevent ice jams, and to produce hydro-electricity. Although they can have many benefits, they can also be extremely dangerous.
It is very important practice dam safety when near or around dams. Stay backfrom waters above or below hydro facilities! |
