   How does a small dam affect flood control?

   • The aggregated effect of many small dams can also be considerable, with 20–70% flood peak reduction 92, depending on their relative size, position in the basin and operation rules 93, 94, 95. For very extreme floods, the reservoirs associated with dams tend to fill up and thus reservoirs lose their efficacy as flood control structures.
