7972. Dam break analysis : The analysis of the flood flows resulting from postulated conditions of partial or total failure of a water storage dam. Such analyses are particularly important where a significant population would be put at risk by such a failure, and would define conditions for flood warning criteria, as well as for safety factor requirements in dam design or strengthening.
