Impact of Climate Change on Dam Safety
The report presents a literature review that includes methodology for analysis of and adaptation to climate change, as well as the identification of changes that may affect dam safety. Using the results of the literature review, an analysis of climate change is carried out, which may lead to risks to dam safety.
The analysis is based on the four driving climate parameters temperature, precipitation, wind with their combinations, and sea level. These will generally increase with the exception of wind where the picture is so far unclear. About seventy impact chains are reported that are used to identify risks that can affect dam safety.
The results do not show any new risks, but primarily they are already known risks that may be exacerbated by climate change that is relevant to dam safety.

Impact of Climate Change on Dam Safety
Knowledge about the climate and its changes is in strong development and the effects of a changing climate are relevant from a dam safety perspective, with discharge capacity and discharge safety in particular focus. In this project, current and relevant information has been compiled to lay a foundation for strategic climate adaptation work regarding dams.

Distributed Acoustic Sensing for Detection of Defects 2022-874
Optiska fibrer finns i flertalet fyllningsdammar i Sverige och är numera så gott som standard vid ombyggnad och nybyggnad. Fibrerna användas vanligen för detektion av vattenströmning och rörelser, men kan i många fall även användas för distribuerad akustisk mätning (Distributed Acoustic Sensing).

VASO 2 - Huvudrapport (engelsk version) 1995-2V
Most of the development of hydropower and construction of large dams in Sweden took place after World War II, reaching a peak during the 50’s and 60’s. The principles for the design and construction of dams during this period of intensive building are still largely valid.

Simulator, River Flood and Accident Simulator 1998-25
De senaste åren har det blivit en ökad uppmärksamhet på säkerheten längs våra vattendrag och kraftbolagen och andra regulanter i vattendragen håller kontinuerliga övningar där det tränas beredskap vid högflödes- och olyckssituationer knutna till regleringsanläggningen.
