Australian National Committee on Large Dams
The Australian National Committee on Large Dams (abbreviated as ANCOLD) is an Australian-based non-government, non-profit and voluntary association of organisations and individual professionals with a common technical interest in large dams and their environs. ANCOLD is not an advocate for dams but an apolitical industry body that focuses on disseminating knowledge, developing capability and providing guidance on all aspects of dam engineering, management and associated issues. ANCOLD is a member of the International Commission on Large Dams (or ICOLD). Role and functions
ANCOLD maintains a register of large dams in Australia, of which approximately 490 dams were listed on the register in 1999. By international convention, "large" dams are those that are  or more in height, although a dam over  qualifies if it has particular features such as large storage or specially difficult foundation conditions. The association awards scholarships to young professionals to attend the annual ANCOLD conference. Publications
