Presentation

In October 2002, SEPREM (Sociedad Espaola de Presas y Embalses, or Spanish Society of Dams and Reservoirs), in collaboration with the Direccin General del Agua del Ministerio de Medio Ambiente y Medio Rural y Marino (Water Directorate of the Ministry of the Environment), organized in Madrid (Spain) the First International Congress on Dam Maintenance and Rehabilitation. The bulletin that announced the Congress stated the following:

Dams, like every human artefact immersed in Nature, are originally conceived to stand against a number of actions. After their construction, dams are subject to a series of external agents and processes which tend to deteriorate the qualities with which they were originally conceived to stand against these actions. Deterioration processes may affect the foundation on which the dam rests, the materials with which it was built, or result in deterioration of the outlet works. Reservoir sedimentation or water quality issues within the reservoir also give raise to problems that must be addressed. In addition to the previous issues, it will be necessary in many cases to respond to increased safety standards, either in the structural or hydrological fi elds.

Criteria to establish how dams and reservoirs deteriorate and the magnitude of this deterioration vary from country to country, but it is clear anyhow that works of maintenance, rehabilitation, retrofi t and decommissioning constitute more and more an important fi eld of activity in every country which has in place a system of dams of certain age, among which Spain is notorious. Dam Owners will necessarily have to increase their budget allocation to keep their facilities in proper order. A substantial number of scientists and engineers, as well as consulting and contracting companies will be involved in these activities.

The time passed since the Congress, far from making these words less valid, has only made them more evident and pressing, making some related concepts more obvious, such as the incidence of climatic change in the management of water resources, and the need for sustainability.

In view of all this, SEPREM, again in collaboration with the Direccin General del Agua del Ministerio de Medio Ambiente y Medio Rural y Marino has the pleasure to invite you to attend the Second International Congress on Dam Maintenance and Rehabilitation, to take place in Zaragoza (Spain) in November 2010.

This Congress will serve as a forum, not only to exchange knowledge and debate experiences of the diverse and complex fi eld of dam maintenance and rehabilitation, but also to share the techniques and preventive activities which may prevent or delay the need for major capital maintenance. The Congress will also serve to convey the experience of the Spanish practitioners and companies to the international community of professionals in this fi eld.
