Building - Safety of dams - Dam compliance certificate

151: Register of dams

You could also call this:

“Regional authorities must keep a list of all the dams in their area.”

In New Zealand, each regional authority has to create and keep a list of all the dams in its area. This list is called a register. The regional authority must make sure this register is always up to date. This means they need to add new dams when they are built and remove old ones that no longer exist. The register helps the regional authority keep track of all the dams in their area.
