Indeks : p.675 - 676 The 55 papers cover a wide varirty of issues. There are papers covering the benefits that reservoirs can provide in terms of water supply and recreation and also on the environmental impacts they can have. The use of new materials in reservoir construction is discussed, in particular the use of geomembranes to provide watertightness. Several papers describe portfolio risk assessements undertaken both in the UK and overseas, and various other issues related to reservoir management are covered, including changes in the enforcement of UK reservoir safety legislation. The issue of climate change and its effect on reservoir safety is considered and there is an update on European research into dambreak analysis.
