Welcome to AMERICAN DAMS

American Dams is a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation.  Our mission is to educate the public on the benefit of dams, provide information on regulatory and operational matters, and operate dams for the public's benefit.

There are nearly 90,000 dams across the country that provide vital societal needs including water supply, flood protection, renewable hydropower generation, recreation, water quality benefits, and environmental benefits.
