Dam Failure Flood Inundation Modeling, Mapping, and Life Loss Consequences Analysis
BOR performs dam failure inundation modeling and mapping in support of emergency evacuation planning and dam safety risk analysis. Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (IFSAR), lidar, and other geospatial terrain data are used within an Esri ArcGIS environment for pre- and post-processing of numerical hydraulic models. Hydraulic modeling employs one- and two-dimensional modeling techniques and relies primarily on the models produced with MIKE software by DHI.
