Bulletin 165 discusses the selection of hydraulic binders and mineral additions as well as adjuvants and wasting water in the construction of both conventional concrete (CVC) and rolled compacted concrete (RCC) dams, and provides project actors with the framework to make the right choice of materials when resources may be limited.

ICOLD Bulletin 167 provides a comprehensive review of legal and regulatory arrangements for the safety of dams among the countries represented at ICOLD. As such, this review is essentially a snapshot of the situation being in place at the end of the first and the beginning of the second decade in the 21st century.

Bulletin 145 addresses physical properties of mass concrete most frequently used in the design and analysis of concrete dams and appurtenant structures, including methods for experimental determination and methodes to introduce the properties into mathematical models that can be used for both design and observation.

The purpose of ICOLD Bulletin 169 is to assess the role of dams and reservoirs in adapting to the effects of global climate change, determine the threats, and potential opportunities, posed by global climate change to existing dams and reservoirs, and then recommend measures to mitigate against or adapt to the effects of climate change.

ICOLD Bulletin 187 begins with a section defining the design flood, followed by three main chapters. The second chapter examines the main aspects of flood volume. The third chapter looks in more detail at stochastic approaches to flood risk assessment. The final chapter deals with the forecasting aspects of proactive flood management.

The present Bulletin presents a complete response from the `Technical Committee of ICOLD on Dams and Water Transfer (CDWT)¿ to the Terms of Reference. Essentially, it dwells on possible need, potential and problems in water transfers that must be handled to overcome B/C issues faced by needy countries.

The guidelines on mathematical modelling of sediment transport dynamics in reservoirs in this document can be used during the planning and design of new dams, as well as for the management of existing dams.

A framework for classifying different types of tailings, ranging from ultra-fine to coarse, based on their geotechnical properties and provides typical geotechnical parameters for the different tailings types. Technologies for dewatering tailings to reduce the risk of storage continue to be developed and the different technologies.
