The National Inventory of Dams (NID) is a collection of information about dams in the United States and its territories, produced by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). The USACE works closely with the Association of State Dam Safety Officials (ASDSO), the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and other State and Federal agencies to update and publish the NID. The National Inventory of Dams contains more than 79,000 dams, provided voluntarily by a wide variety of agencies. This information is used to track information on the country's water control infrastructure and to allocate Federal resources for dam safety programs.
