All of the Baby Boomers went into the IT fields.
Also, with the introduction of birth control the population has taken a hit. Hence reducing the overall population.
The other Breach paramters that I have used are; The top width of the breah is twice that of the height, the side slopes of the breach are 1 to 1, and the total time to reach full breach is 30 minutes.
The dam overtops by almost 4 feet from the design storm. If I breach the dam before the peak water surface elevation, then it would probably make a big difference. There would not be as much storage if I breach the dam prior to the peak water surface elevation.
When simulating a dam breach for the design storm, are you supposed to breach it at the highest water surface elevation, or should you take into account the erodibility of the soil and calculate velocities over the dam to determine when the dam will breach?
