Explore dam safety modeling techniques using McBreach in this 58-minute webinar. Learn how to manage risk through Monte Carlo simulations leveraging HEC-RAS. Discover the free McBreach© program, which quantifies uncertainty and aids in decision-making for dam owners facing challenges such as aging infrastructure, limited resources, and climate change. Delve into topics including conservative assumptions, inundation mapping, probabilistic approaches, dam breach parameters, exceedance probabilities, percentiles, normal distribution, statistical convergence, and parallel processing. Gain insights on how McBreach© complements traditional deterministic dam breach methods, providing a more meaningful way to communicate potential effects of dam or levee breaches.
