-"The vulnerabilities of dams to manmade attacks greatly depend on site-specific conditions and characteristics that could be exploited by potential adversaries to cause [[structural]] damage or to disable or disrupt operations or critical functions. Owners and operators of critical dams across the Nation have instituted security programs based on risk-informed management principles, including provisions to increase their security posture during heightened threat conditions." <ref name="REF1" />
+Dams can fail for a number of reasons, including as a result of flooding, equipment malfunction, and operator error; but also deliberate action. Certain characteristics of dams make them an unusually difficult type of facility to protect, particularly against deliberate attack. While critical assets in many other sectors are small or concentrated and can be contained within buildings or protected by fences, dams are often large facilities whose components are not necessarily enclosed within buildings or fenced boundaries. Dams are often located in remote areas and can be approached via land, water, or air. Some are required to provide public access to certain portions of the facility, which can create difficulty in controlling access around critical components. <ref name="REF1">[https://www.cisa.gov/sites/default/files/publications/Dams%2520Sector%2520Crisis%2520Management%2520Handbook%2520FINAL%25202021_508c.pdf Dams Sector Crisis Management Handbook, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, 2021]</ref>

	"Certain characteristics of dams make them an unusually difficult type of asset to protect. While assets in many other critical infrastructure sectors have a relatively small footprint, dams are normally large structures that are often located in remote areas. In addition, many critical features at dam projects can be approached via land and water, or even by air. These factors pose especially difficult problems in controlling access to dams. However, most dams are designed and built according to well-documented [[engineering]] principles and regulated standards, a characteristic that can help in the case of an attack or major disruption. Further, dams are designed to withstand a variety of unusual and extreme conditions, which makes them inherently robust structures." <ref name="REF1">[[Worldwide Attacks Against Dams: A Historical Threat Resource for Owners and Operators\| Worldwide Attacks Against Dams: A Historical Threat Resource for Owners and Operators (Department of Homeland Security, 2012)]]</ref>		"Certain characteristics of dams make them an unusually difficult type of asset to protect.
