The International Commission on Large Dams (ICOLD) published seven bulletins in 2021 directly related to issues affecting hydropower and dams.
ICOLD says publication of its technical bulletins is the heart of its activity. “On a single precise subject, our experts have met during three to five years and they produced a state of the art with recommendations for engineers from all over the world,” the website says.
The bulletins are:
181: Tailings Dam Design – Technology Update
175: Dam Safety Management: Pre-operational Phases of the Dam Life Cycle
173: Integrated Operation of Hydropower Stations and Reservoirs
162: Environmental Fluid Mechanics
161: Dams and Water Transfers – An Overview
159: Supplement to the Position Paper on Dams and the Environment from 2012
140: Mathematical Modelling of Sediment Transport and Deposition in Reservoirs – Guidelines and Case Studies

ICOLD was founded in 1928 and has National Committees from more than 100 countries with about 10,000 individual members. ICOLD members include practicing engineers, geologists and scientists form governmental or private organizations, consulting firms, universities, laboratories and construction companies.
