P'-a r'wxto spsdPva!1'y excluded mme taf/togs ana mfusa dams. Questionnaires warn sent to a large number at dam owners in 19d8 a rd 1971, respiting in toomrintton on 349 significant indcarsfs.

E'dbar.fsmeni dams compose approximate y ?3% of the cams in operation, and ado: 75% of the recorded incidents were rotated to ;b.s type of dan'. Approximately 24% of the incidents ware failures, one about 42% of the incidents warn major repairs, wild the mmamir-g 34% described as ecolrianis. fix? incident dais s? summarised graphically in m g.l, where the lyae of incvfenf ties been catnparad with its cacao. Conclusions that can bo drown horn Lig.1 ` am that `lie majority of 03m failures are sssocatec wttri overtopping, and the majority of viddaufs ere associated with spillways arid ether facility structures

* Lack of control of the hyOro'ogfcai ssginre is one oi the most common causes of M u re . Of the cases reported here, the meonfy of daturas were due to overtopping, slope instability, seepage and erosion; s i caused by a lack of control of the water bmance within the mpeunamenis. Correctly pieced piaacmetUfs and open fade standpipes can show the levels o? the phreatic surface and give warning of dangerously high conditions. There should always be prevision fur diverting water anc lacings discharge away fre-m an impoundment in difficulties. Alternative discharge, possih y into another impoundment. should always be available. Removal of water from the pond sbou;d ha an uninterrupted uanlsrreous process and blotesgs nr damage so pomp name or any form of decant should not be a:leered to occur. Damage to vertical decants car. he caused by consolidation o f the tuiings see negative shin fdetien inducing high vertical loading, .c, attaching itself to a decant rower can impose damaging banding and twisting momerte caused by water level changes and wind fumes. The aver increasing ieadng on culverts passing under a datr and npoundmont, particularly when height ".us neen increased to give ahova design capacity, crushing damage may prevent adequate discharge, particularly during exceptions! conditions Unsatisfactory 3rne~dmenfs to the designed outlet ar*gngaments. as occurred with incident No 1 7, should not be al:owed. Second decant facilities and/or stanohy pomp barges should be available for emergences, Any such standby facilities must be regularly tasted to ensure that they will work whan rayuired. Culverts should be monilored and inspected regularly to detect first signs of distress.
Ai; impoundments and tnesr netarnwg dems need to bs able to accommudete extreme hyerteogic events, up to tbo ^rebstha Alpsdmum Ficod, Wetor retaining dams are normally provided with spillway sadl two designed to pass the Ndte (older dome are being modified to aceow; wiib modern Saw).
