Abstract
Abstract. Dams as well as protective dikes and levees are critical
infrastructures whose associated risk must be properly managed in a
continuous and updated process. Usually, dam safety management has been
carried out assuming stationary climatic and non-climatic conditions.
However, the projected alterations due to climate change are likely to affect
different factors driving dam risk. Although some reference institutions
develop guidance for including climate change in their decision support
strategies, related information is still vast and scattered and its
application to specific analyses such as dam safety assessments remains a
challenge. This article presents a comprehensive and multidisciplinary review of the
impacts of climate change that could affect dam safety. The global effect
can be assessed through the integration of the various projected effects
acting on each aspect of the risk, from the input hydrology to the
calculation of the consequences of the flood wave on population and assets at
risk. This will provide useful information for dam owners and dam safety
practitioners in their decision-making process.
