Reflecting on my recent participation in the US Society on Dams (USSD) Conference held in Seattle, USA, from 22 to 25 April 2024, I am energised by the wealth of knowledge exchanged and the collaborative opportunities that emerged.
Dr. Monte Azmi, Senior Associate Engineer – Water Resources at SMEC, has published a paper in the Journal of Natural Hazards, focusing on enhancing estimations of crucial dam breach parameters such as peak discharge, breach formation time, and average breach width. This research is pivotal for understanding and mitigating the impacts of dam failures.
