Understand basic concepts of flood risk and resilience in hydraulic Engineering, and assessing the probability of different types of failure of dams.
Acquisition of methods for:
I.Estimating dam-breach and predicting dam break flood inundation extents
II.Estimating the consequences from extreme flooding (incl. cascading effects)
III.Estimating flood risk and resilience
IV.Weighing the advantages and disadvantages of different measures/ design levels
V.Decision-making
Hands-on tutorials are used to convey the main methods currently used in Hydraulic Engineering.
