The 5,100 dams in India are aging and also facing different circumstances than when designed, often decades or more ago. This paper describes some of the practical applications of innovative tools to support dam safety analyses and the investment planning process. The DAM platform is such a tool for dam and dike management. PS-InSAR is another tool to generate maps of dam and dike surface deformation at millimeter precision. A next step is forecasting of dam and dike safety based on the weather forecasting upstream, river runoff and reservoir behavior.
