The goal of MyDAMS is to safeguard people, their possessions, and the environment from dam disasters.

After 5�years, it is advisable to investigate the effectiveness of MyDAMS by measuring the level of understanding and practice of MyDAMS among the public. Thus, a survey was conducted among dam owners, operators, dam engineers, consultants, researchers, and related organizations in the dam sector. Results showed that MyDAMS is effective among the public as they are used daily, especially in the Dam Safety Management System.
