Canada is hosting the next annual meeting of the International Commission on Large Dams (ICOLD), in Ottawa on June 9-14, 2019. 

Delegates from around the world will share their expertise in dam engineering and operation for hydropower, water resources and the mining industry.

You can be one of them.

Theme: Sustainable and Safe Dams Around the World

The theme will be addressed through technical papers and a poster session presented on the following topics.

1  Innovation

Recent advancements and techniques for investigation, design, construction, operation and maintenance of water or tailings dams and spillways.

2  Sustainable Development

Planning, design, construction, operation, decommissioning and closure management strategies for water resources or tailings dams.

3  Hazards

Design mitigation and management of hazards to water or tailings dams, appurtenant structures, spillways and reservoirs (e.g. fl, seismic, landslides).

4  Extreme Conditions
