Dams
The number of dams in Germany is a matter of definition. The water laws of the federal states regulate what a dam is. In the register of the ICOLD (International Commission for Large Dams) there are around 311 German dams that meet the ICOLD criterion for large dams, there are significantly more smaller ones. Therefore, this is only an incomplete, alphabetical list from which the volume of the reservoirs can be seen.
Various explanations for understanding the table can be found at the end of this article - see here .
