While a thorough and detailed design and construction process decreases the chance that major problems arise in the life span of a dam; without proper operation and maintenance of the dam, the safety of the dam is put in jeopardy. Additionally, site conditions including changing upstream and downstream hydrology, deterioration of the embankment or concrete, developing of new or additional seepage paths, etc. are subject to change over time. Therefore, in order to maintain a sufficient level of safety, consideration of changing conditions should inform any changes in operations and maintenance at a dam.
