South America: Doce River, Brazil

SRK has created a hydrological and hydraulic model that simulates extreme hydrological events that could cause a significant impact due to rising water levels within the river channel. This was used to provide more accurate information regarding the population impacted with the unexpected/unnatural rise in water river level caused by the Fundão dam failure. This approach used a conservative scenario to simulate the potential river flood. The model will be updated when more accurate surveying topobathimetry along the river is available.
