File:Dam Modeling Communication Fact Sheet Post-Analysis Communication Best Practices.png


This fact sheet presents a framework for an engineer/modeler to effectively communicate the results of hydrologic, hydraulic, seepage, and stability models to both a dam owner and regulatory agency. While computer models can be useful tools in evaluating the performance of dams and appurtenant structures, watersheds, and a dam’s downstream consequences, there are a variety of approaches and methodologies for conducting and documenting these modeling efforts. Therefore, it is important to owners, consultants, and regulators that clear communication is integrated in the process. The purpose of this fact sheet is to guide communication of the approach and results of a modeling effort. Such post-modeling communication may include a report submittal, a metadata document, digital file delivery, or a meeting with the regulator and owner.
