Low-head Dams: Get Out and Scout
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Headquarters
July 1, 2025 | 1:31
Low-head dams are smaller humanmade structures built in and across waterways. Found across the United States, these dams were built to regulate water for a variety of purposes such as to operate mills, generate power, and deepen waterways to recreate. But what's notable about these dams is the dangers they pose - known as downing machines, low-head dams have killed more than 1,400 people. This video provides tips for being safe around low-head dams. Remember, when in doubt, get out and scout! To learn more, visit the National Inventory of Dams (https://nid.sec.usace.army.mil/#/) and view data on low-head dams.
