About Us
The Australian National Committee on Large Dams Incorporated (ANCOLD Inc) is an incorporated voluntary association of organisations and individual professionals with an interest in dams in Australia. ANCOLD was formed in 1937 as the Australian national committee of the International Commission on Large Dams (ICOLD), a non-government organisation established in 1928, and is one of 100 member countries.
ANCOLD’s Mission
As the industry body, we support our members, disseminate knowledge, develop capability and provide guidance in achieving excellence for all aspects of dam engineering and management. We recognise that it is the skills of the people involved in these activities, their sharing of knowledge and collaboration that will sustain this mission.
“The Role of Dams” gives a background on the Australian National Committee on Large Dams.
