Dam break analysis using HEC-RAS and HEC-GeoRAS: A case study of Hidkal dam, Karnataka state, India

A dam is a structure constructed across river which stores water and supplies water for various purposes. Though the dams have many benefits, there is always a threat of dam break floods which are devastating in nature. Hence it becomes essential to analyze and simulate dam failure scenarios to unde...

Hence it becomes essential to analyze and simulate dam failure scenarios to understand the severity of dam break flood and identify areas under threat which helps in land use planning and developing emergency response plans. This study attempts to carry out dam break/breach analysis for the Hidkal dam using a one-dimensional hydraulic model called Hydraulic Engineering Center's River Analysis System (HEC-RAS). HEC-GeoRAS tool is used to extract river geometry data from the Cartosat-1 digital elevation model (DEM) and to generate the inundation map to identify the areas affected. The study involves the prediction of breach parameters, breach flood hydrograph, peak flow, flood arrival time, and generation of inundation maps. The dam break model is simulated for unsteady flow conditions using Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) corresponding to piping and overtopping failure scenarios. HEC-RAS tool is utilized to determine the breach outflow hydrograph and hydraulic conditions at critical downstream locations. Further, the breach outflow hydrographs are routed using dynamic flood wave routing. Further HEC-RAS model is simulated for breach parameters derived from five different empirical methods, and the results are compared. A sensitivity analysis is also carried out to know the variation of peak flow and maximum stage with respect to the breach parameters. The immediate downstream of the dam experience a peak flow of 72,085.45 m3/s and 78,454.82 m3/s and the corresponding inundation area of 75.224 km2 and 79.205 km2 due to piping failure and overtopping failure, respectively. Around twenty village located on the downstream of dam location gets affected due to flood produced by dam break.
