Dams that pose a high or significant hazard to lives and/or properties are prioritized for rehabilitation. In many cases the benefits of removing the dam may outweigh the costs of repair and maintenance.
Dams can pose an impediment to up and downstream migration for aquatic organisms and result in population declines. An aquatic connectivity decision framework can help dam owners decide between repairing or removing a high hazard potential dam, while also potentially leveraging additional resources for such activities. This fact sheet provides an example flowchart and other information to aid dam owners in project planning.
