Abstract/Additional Information

"Estimation of the hydraulics of the flood wave propagation due to multiple dam breaking is quite complex and realistic answers are difficult to be given by commercially available packages. Some of the complexities of the problem are discussed, including those related to flood routing through a reservoir. Suggestions to overcome the difficulties are given along with a real life application of the procedure proposed"
