With the expansion of the scale and the increase of the complexity of water resources and hydropower projects, traditional dam safety monitoring methods have been difficult to meet the needs of modern projects. The application of new technologies provides new solutions for dam safety monitoring. This paper explores several new technologies for dam safety monitoring applied in water resources and hydropower projects, including high-precision positioning technology, drone inspections, Internet of Things (IoT) sensor networks, and big data analysis, etc., and analyzes the advantages of these technologies in improving the efficiency and accuracy of dam safety monitoring. By comprehensively applying these new technologies, the monitoring ability of the dam's operation status can be significantly improved, potential safety hazards can be detected in a timely manner, thus ensuring the safe and stable operation of water resources and hydropower projects.
