Deglaciation due to atmospheric warming has led to the formation and expansion of
numerous glacial lakes, especially in the eastern Himalaya. Many of these glacial lakes are …

Abstract The Teesta basin in Sikkim Himalaya hosts numerous glacial lakes in the high
altitude glacierized region, including one of the largest and the fastest-growing South …

In this study, we conducted flood mapping of a hypothetical dam break by coupling the
Hydrologic Engineering Center's Hydrologic Modeling System (HEC-HMS) and River …

Dam overtopping failure and the resulting floods are hazardous events that highly impact the
inundated areas and are less predictable. The simulation of the dam breach failure and the …

When settlements are located close to a dam, it is important to accurately predict the breach
peak flow and the time to reach the peak. Therefore, the prediction of dam breach properties …

However rare, dam breach occurrences are recently reported and associated with significant
damage to life and property. The rupture of the structural dam wall generates severe flow …

The dam-break connected flood hydrograph properties primarily depend on the breach
geometry and the time for the breach to fully develop. Therefore, the prediction of dam's …

The article presents an analysis of the potential consequences for Cracow of failure of dams
located in the Vistula catchment area upstream of the city. They have been compared with …

The objective of the present work was to evaluate sources of uncertainty in dam break
simulations for areas with contrasting characteristics: one in a narrow valley with high …

Dams are constructed to benefit humans; however, dam-break disasters are unpredictable
and inevitable leading to economic and human life losses. The sequential catastrophe of a …
