DamWatch

Description

Stakeholders of NCRS-assisted dams can receive real-time updates of rainfall, snowmelt, stream flow, and seismic events that could affect dam safety.

This monitoring software solution can assist with monitoring and managing NRCS-assisted dams. The tool empowers dam owners to predict, identify, prepare for, manage, and record potentially destructive environmental events. DamWatch® centralizes and makes accessible all database and geospatial information through an interactive web interface. When dams are experiencing a dangerous or critical event, essential personnel are alerted via any electronic medium (cell phones, pagers, email, and fax) and can implement Emergency Action Plans (EAPs) if necessary.
