USSD Membership
USSD is a world-class organization of engineering professionals who advance the environmentally sustainable science of planning, design, construction, operation and maintenance of dams, levees and associated civil engineering projects. Our members lead the nation, and work with partner organizations worldwide, to resolve the world’s most critical resource problem: access to clean water.
Expertise Needed
Volunteer with USSD!
Short- and long-term volunteer opportunities are available on both our Technical and Operating committees. Visit the Committees page of the USSD website to learn more about the various committees and find a match for your interests and goals.
Contact Tonia Bengtson for more information.

A secure by design software development program necessitates formal efforts to eliminate entire classes of defect before the product ships rather than playing whack-a-mole with defects that appear on customer systems in production.
It is with profound sadness we announce that the dam safety community recently lost one of our great engineers – Jay Thom. For those of us who knew Jay, this loss cuts deep.
Jay was heavily involved in dam engineering across the western states for over the past 40 years; he was a champion for dam safety in Montana and a contributing member to the national dam safety community, including serving on committees for ASDSO and USSD.
