Modeling Communication: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 03:57, 25 June 2024

Successful design and analysis projects require clear communication and well thought out plans.

This topic page provides a framework for communication as part of the development of hydrologic, hydraulic, seepage, and stability analyses. It applies to engineers/modelers, dam owners, and regulatory agencies. 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 these modeling efforts, and it is important to owners, consultants, and regulators that clear communication is integrated in the process. The purpose of this section is to guide communication among all interested parties prior to commencing a modeling effort, at critical junctures during the modeling process, and in sharing results following completion of the analysis.

Learn more about the following aspects of modeling communication here:

Pre-Analysis Communication Best Practices
Post-Analysis Communication Best Practices (currently under development)
