WinDAM
<p>Prioritization of dam rehabilitation, improved flood warning systems, development of emergency action plans, and inform policy makers on zoning regulations.</p> <p>WinDAM C models erosion in earthen embankments as well as erosion in earthen auxiliary spillways of dams. The three-phase erosion model was jointly developed by the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) and the NRCS.</p> <p>1) Phase one of the erosion or failure process is failure of the vegetal cover and development of concentrated flow.</p> <p>2) Phase two is downward erosion in the area of concentrated flow, resulting in headcut formation.</p> <p>3) Phase three is downward and upstream movement of the headcut, potentially breaching the spillway or embankment.</p> <p>Each phase is described by a set of threshold-rate relationships based on the process mechanics. A headcut erodibility index (Kh) describes the resistance of the exposed geologic materials to erosive attack during the third phase of the process. </p><div><br>Resources in this dataset:</div><br><ul><li><p>Resource Title: WinDAM information and download page.</p> <p>File Name: Web Page, url: <a href="https://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/detail/national/water/manage/hydrology/?cid=nrcseprd997406">https://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/detail/national/water/manage/hydrology/?cid=nrcseprd997406</a> </p></li></ul><p></p>
