ICOLD Technical Committees

One of ICOLD’s functions over the years has been to distil best international practice on all aspects of dams. This is done by 26 Technical Committees drawn from their membership of over 90 countries. These are then published in the form of Bulletins of which to date ICOLD has published nearly 150.

The BDS is represented by a number of its members serving on these committees and a full list of the current UK members serving on ICOLD committees, and current vacancies, can be found here.

If you are interested in representing the UK on any of the ICOLD committees please contact the current BDS Chairman, Martin Airey for nomination via the main ICOLD head office.
