Our mission and guiding principles are to ensure all dams in New Hampshire
are constructed, maintained and operated in a safe manner. Lake levels,
stream flows and the state’s surface and groundwater resources are used
efficiently and managed to protect environmental quality, enhance public
safety and flood protection and to support and balance a variety of social
and ecological water needs.
