2000 Dam Safety Conference Proceedings

The following is a compendium of technical papers which were presented at the 2000 ASDSO Annual Conference held at the Westin Hotel in Providence, Rhode Island on September 28 – 30, 2000. All presentations except the general session presentations and those papers not received by the print date are published in this book. Reports on other activities, such as the welcome remarks, administrative meetings and awards presentations were published in the ASDSO ENews and distributed to all members.  Papers were chosen from over 120 submittals by the conference program committee, chaired by Richard DeBold, (NH state representative). The ASDSO Board of Directors gave final approval to all conference speakers. ASDSO wishes to thank all those who submitted abstracts.
