This type of dam combines the safety of a gravity dam with the economy of the arch type. It has been pronounced by experts as the most scientific and, therefore,-th-e safest and most economical type of dam. Be tween twenty and thirty multiple-arcdams have been built during recent years in the United States. None ha: ever failed. Many more are planned for the near future.
