Analytical techniques for the estimation of dam breach parameters were evaluated and compared. The development of potential flooding from a dam failure requires several elements; the hydrologic scenario, the possible dam failure modes, breach parameters that are associated with the failure modes, and the routing and mapping of the consequent discharge hydrograph. This paper presents recent research into the use and application of several dam breach parameter estimators to describe the physical characteristics of a dam breach, use of those parameters within the unsteady flow routing model HEC-RAS, and the computation and display of the resulting downstream impacts. The breach parameter estimators that were used include both empirical and embankment erosion process models.
