The document discusses a training program on water stops for engineers working on dam construction. The program aims to teach engineers about different types of water stops used to prevent leaks, including elastomeric and thermoplastic water stops. It covers topics like water stop installation methods, connection techniques, structural requirements, and ensuring water-tight concrete joints. The overall goal is for engineers to gain knowledge on proper water stop technology and application when implementing dam projects.
