The United States Bureau of Reclamation, 2019
The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) uses flood inundation maps to estimate dam failure life loss for dam safety risk analyses and to produce emergency action plans which aid emergency responders. These maps need to be clear and adhere to a standard so that they can be easily read and interpreted.
Inundation mapping data is the product of an engineering analysis, which involves numeric hydraulic modeling, dam breach analysis, and interpretation of a dam’s potential failure modes. This document discusses the production of inundation maps from output data produced by the hydraulic modeling
