Much research has been done recently on the possible future scenarios of climate change. The effects on runoff and extreme precipitation for Norway have been investigated, and the results indicate that there will be larger and more frequently occurring floods in the future. Some possible effects on dam safety in Norway are presented as well as some recent examples of dam incidents caused by unusual climatic conditions.

  • Introduction
