The Australian Water School is excited to be working with renowned experts in this field who will guide attendees through:

the intricacies of compiling accurate input data – a critical but often overlooked aspect of dam breach modelling;
a software-agnostic approach: gain valuable knowledge applicable regardless of your preferred modelling software;
real-world application: work with practical datasets, apply regression equations to estimate dam breach parameters, and prepare for hands-on model development (separate sessions offered).

Key learnings:

Background theory: Solidify your understanding of dam breach modelling fundamentals;
Calibration techniques: Master effective calibration approaches to ensure model accuracy;
Pitfall avoidance: Identify and overcome common challenges associated with dam breach modelling.

At the conclusion of this Premium Webinar, attendees will be empowered to tackle dam breach modelling confidently by going beyond the basics.
