Dies erklärt die immense Bedeutung eines tiefgreifenden Verständnisses der Hydraulik von Dämmen. Anhand zahlreicher Abbildungen und Photographien werden hier die Grundlagen der Dammhydraulik und aktuelle Projektierungsmethoden vorgestellt. Schwerpunkte sind Überläufe, Energieverteilung, Auslaßelemente, Sedimentation der Reservoirs und Dammbrüche.
