As dams age, they are subject to a series of external agents and
processes which tend to deteriorate the qualities with which they
were originally conceived to stand against these actions. At the
same time, it is often necessary to respond to increased safety
standards, either in the structural or hydrological fields.
Reservoir sedimentation or water quality issues within the
reservoir also give raise to problems that must be addressed.
Lastly, climatic change in the management of water resources, and
the need for sustainability have clearly become new incidence
factors with which Dam Owners will have to coexist in the future.

Therefore it is obvious that an increase in budget allocation for
remedial and conservation measures is required, in order to reach
the increasing operation, supply and security measures which are
being established. The relevance of this factor is mostly
emphasized in developed countries which own an important heritage
of aging dams.

constitutes a complete review of the state of art in techniques
concerning dam retrofitting and conservation. Contributions are
presented either in English or Spanish and correspond to a wide
range of topics related to dam maintenance, behaviour evaluation
and rehabilitation. This shared knowledge and experience will
surely be highly relevant for dam academics and professionals at
all technical and administrative levels.
