DAM (Dike strength Analysis Module) is a software package for the automated calculation of the strength of dikes. DAM was developed by Deltares with and for STOWA for all water authorities.

DAM is used to calculate the strength (now and in the future) of primary and regional dikes, for example the purposes of assessing regional dikes and drawing up ledgers. There are four distinct stages in the analysis of dike strength. These stages are always completed, regardless of the type of question.
