摘要
Switzerland is a country rich in waterpower, yet without hardly any other resources. The electricity production, therefore, was based on hydropower a long time ago. To store energy, dams are key structures for hydropower schemes. For both low and high head dams these were provided by keen engineers who oversaw the activities relating to dam construction. This paper highlights five selected engineers having significantly contributed to Swiss dam engineering. Of relevance is of course their role within the Swiss National Committee on Large Dams.
