The proposed short training program on Dam Safety Principles aims to address the need for capacity building in the development of dam structures in South Asia. Through a combination of classroom training and field trips to suitable sites in Tasmania, the course aims to provide practical knowledge on dam safety principles such as risk assessment, design, construction, operation, maintenance, and emergency preparedness.
The course is designed to equip officials and executives from South Asia with the necessary skills and knowledge to ensure the safe and effective development of dam structures in the region
