There are Regional Clubs designated for each ICOLD zone to facilitate interchange of knowledge and experience between countries with common interests and environments. As such, USSD participates in the International Committees of the Americas (INCA).
Currently two USSD members serve as Co-Presidents of INCA – Marty Teal (WEST Consultants) and John Wolfhope (Freese & Nichols). As part of the goals during the tenure USSD is leading the effort to deliver the International Symposium on the Safety of Dams on May 21-23, 2024 in Puerto Rico.
This 3-day event will focus on comparing best practices in dam safety and engineering across countries in the western hemisphere. This event will be a combination of technical presentations, site tours, exhibits, networking, and camaraderie.
Registration and detailed event information will be available on the INCA website soon!
