Explore advances in dam breach assessment through this comprehensive 1-hour 12-minute webinar. Delve into current research papers, embankment field tests, and standardized assessment methods. Learn about estimating dam breach parameters, Breach Hydro software, and the Australian context. Gain insights from expert presenters as they review regression equations in state-of-the-art dam breach software, covering failure observations, dataset development, and updated analysis methodologies. Discover how to validate hydraulic models using observed data, including breach parameters, margin of error, and probabilistic modeling. Understand the limitations of current methods, hear cautionary tales, and stay informed about recent changes in modeling practices and ANCOLD guidance. Participate in the Q&A discussion and learn about upcoming training opportunities in dam breach essentials.
