Description
Book SynopsisContains the proceedings of the 15th Conference of the British Dam Society, Ensuring reservoir safety into the future, covering a variety of issues relating to reservoir safety, particularly in the UK. This book presents information on the effect that the significant storm events in the summer of 2007 could have on UK reservoir safety.
