Dam Break Inundation Modelling Using Hydrodynamic Modelling of any River

Source

Source summary

Create an Indian river dam-break/blockage and release-scenario modelling tool for disaster relief. Combine hydrological data, elevation models and satellite imagery, comparing Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics and Delft3D approaches for downstream inundation and loss/damage analysis. Support large inputs through a GUI, export shapefile/KML results and add near-real-time open-data flood analysis via Earth Engine. Demonstrate with publicly available Indian river/dam data; the purpose is impact preparedness, not causing failures.
