The U.S. Non-Powered Dam (NPD) Characteristics Inventory contains data from various sources, including identifiers, locations, and a wide variety of characteristics. Characteristics included describe US NPDs and their surroundings, including attributes related to the physical nature or design of a dam, environmental conditions, safety conditions, socioeconomic aspects, and hydropower development potential. Data may be continuous or discrete/categorical. Data were obtained for each dam listed as an NPD (based on USACE NID). This inventory supports the NPD Explorer and NPDamCAT web apps developed by ORNL.
