According to the source, total dam capacity refers to the cumulative capacity of all large dams, expressed in km3. It explains that the indicated dam capacity is the theoretical initial capacity and does not change with time. The current dam capacity refers to the state of the dams at a given time that may have decreased due to silting.
The source states that "a dam is a barrier constructed across a valley for impounding water or creating a reservoir. Dams are characterized by their purposes and construction materials used. The international large dam commission classifies the dams according to the height (above 15 m) and the water volume stored. Each country has its own definition of large dams."
