A dam will fundamentally change the area in which it is situated. This is why its design, and then its construction, require detailed studies, especially of the site, and these will decide on the characteristics of the structure.

From that point a dam takes on the form of a joint project, to which each player brings innovations reused again at a later date for other projects.
