Although hundreds of stilling basisns and energy-dissipating  devices have been designed in  conjunction  with  spillways,  outlet  works,  and  canal structures,  it  is  often  necessary  to  make  model studies  of  individual  structures  to  be  certain  that these will  operate  as anticipated.  The  reason for these repetitive  tests is that  a factor  of  uncertainty exists  regarding  the  overall  performance  characteristics  of  energy  dissipators. The many  laboratory  studies made on individual structures  over  a  period  of  years  have  been made by  different  personnel,  for  different  groups  of designers, each  structure  having  different  allow- able  design  limitations.  Since no  two  structures were  exactly  alike,  attempts  to  generalize  the assembled data  resulted  in  sketchy  and,  at  times, inconsistent  results  having  only  vague  connecting links.  Extensive  library  research  into  the  works of  others  revealed  the  fact  that  the  necessary correlation  facts are nonexistent.

The construction of dams ranks with the earliest and most fundamental of civil engineering activities. All great civilizations have been identified with the construction of storage reservoirs appropriate to their needs, in the earliest instances to satisfy irrigation demands arising through the development and expansion of organized agriculture. Operating within constraints imposed by local circumstance, notably climate and terrain, the economic power of successive civilizations was related to proficiency in water engineering.

Prosperity, health and material progress became increasingly linked to the ability to store and direct water. In an international context, the proper and timely utilization of water resources remains one of the most vital contributions made to society by the civil engineer.

Dam construction represents a major investment in basic infrastructure within all nations. The annual completion rate for dams of all sizes continues at a very high level in many countries, e.g. China, Turkey and India, and to a lesser degree in some more heavily industrialized nations including the United States.
