The Large Referable Farm Dam Assessment Program commenced in early 2006 after inspections identified a significant number of Queensland dams that were unknown to the Department of Environment and Resource Management (DERM) and could potentially threaten life if they were to fail. The program is unique given the number of structures under consideration and is understood to be the first widespread, systematic search for dams with a population at risk in the world. The Dam Safety (Farm Dams) team has developed many original solutions to allow the majority of investigations to be undertaken in-house, thus minimising the potentially higher cost and timeframe issues associated with obtaining external engineering and surveying support.
