The webinar will open with an overview of the act, followed by presentations focusing on the areas of hydropower (dam retrofitting), dam safety (dam rehabilitation), and restoration (dam removal). Each presentation will highlight ways in which funding is being appropriated and what this means for dam projects.
A robust panel discussion with the audience will conclude the webinar.
