Watershed Rehabilitation
| Local communities, with USDA Natural Resources
Conservation Service (NRCS) assistance, have constructed over
11,000 dams in 47 states since 1948. Many of these dams are
nearing the end of their 50-year design life. Rehabilitation of
these dams is needed to address critical public health and
safety issues in these communities. The following information
provides background and case studies of rehabilitation needs of
watershed dams across the nation as well as progress toward
rehabilitation accomplishments. |
