As sea-levels rise around the globe, coastal communities are becoming more vulnerable to the effects of sea-level rise, including areas along back bays. USACE is adapting to these changes and working to help mitigate the risks to these communities throughout the U.S.

A low head dam is a human-made structure that extends across the banks. Water falling over it creates currents that can trap people underwater against the dam's face. It can be practically inescapable for even the strongest, life jacket-clad swimmer! Avoid the drowning machine!

An illustration of currents created by water falling over a dam with text that reads, " "IT'S A TRAP!" " "The recirculating currents and turbulent waters below Low-Head Dams can swamp vessels and drown boaters!" "KEEP YOUR DISTANCE!" "and always REMEMBER:" "Study a map or ask a local beforehand to locate potential dangers. Always stay alert!" "Always navigate around the structure or turn around well before reaching the dam;" "Obey all posted signage and barriers in the area;" "Let someone know when and where you are heading out and when to expect you to return;" Never enter the water to help someone else. Call 911 and use a remote assistive device, such as a rope or throw bag, to try and pull them to safety."
