Dams and Water Control Structures
Location
Nova Scotia
About the Project
The Province of Nova Scotia owns more than 50 dams and other water-control structures. Build Nova Scotia has accessed federal funding to do risk assessments on 22 of these structures over the past two years. Build Nova Scotia continues to work with other departments and agencies to develop safety plans for dams and water control structures to mitigate against risks from severe weather events, such as flooding or breaches.
