“…The Hazus Flood model provides extensive library of depth-damage curves that can be compared and of life resulting from dam failure in Nepal (Cuellar & McKinney, 2017) and other developing countries, e.g. China (Peng & Zhang, 2012) and Turkey (Aydemir & Güven, 2017), which is considered to be also applicable to GLOFs due to similar flow hydrodynamics and flooding process. The potential loss of life is estimated according to the time when the warnings of dam failure are issued, the quality of the warnings, the danger level of the flood and associated fatality rate.…”

Dams Safety Index (Dsi): A Reassessment of the Parameters of Analysis

et al. 2019

Dams provide a water supply, irrigation and power generation. However, the economic, social and environmental impacts are serious when they rupture. It is important that dams continue to function properly and are constantly evaluated for their safety and functionality. Contrary to general belief, small dams are the ones that present the most problems, because they are often built without adequate design and construction methods. One of the methods to evaluate the safety of a dam is through the Dam Safety Index (DSI), which may not entirely avoid subjectivity in dam safety assessment but does propose balanced individual subjectivities in determining the weights of the index criteria. The DSI can also assist managers with preventive maintenance schedules in a dam safety assessment. This work aims to reassess the importance of the parameters of the DSI based on a new weighting of these criteria. The modification of the DSI shows a new bias in the weighting of the criteria that composes the index, not only considering technical aspects, but also legal and environmental ones.

“…Los estudios presentados por Bitner (2016) proponen interesantes métodos de integración y análisis de la información cartográfica por medio de los Sistemas de Información Geográfica.Estos resultados se pueden compatibilizar con las experiencias alcanzadas por Kasireddy et al (2015), para gestionar una cartografía de riesgo a partir de los parámetros de diseño y monitoreo del embalse, elementos estos que sustentan bases teóricas en la presente investigación, así como otros resultados similares publicados por varios autores (Aydemir, A. y Güven, A., 2017;Cerón López, G.

En el presente trabajo se hace la evaluación y el análisis de tres tipos de geometría de filtros para evaluar el riesgo de las filtraciones en el Embalse Zaza, a partir de las características históricas de las fluctuaciones de niveles de agua dentro de la presa de tierra. El trabajo se basa en la experiencia de un equipo multidisciplinario e investigación previa con modelos bidimensionales usando el Método de los Elementos Finitos en la solución de problemas básicos en la ingeniería. También se evalúan los resultados de la colocación del nuevo sistema de filtros con un indizado geoespacial (bajo los criterios de: amenaza, vulnerabilidad y riesgo) con datos espaciales de visualización en un Sistema de Información Geográfica para la generación de mapas temáticos que representan cuanto varía el nivel del agua en el interior de la cortina a partir de los diferentes tipos de filtros evaluados.
