  1. The Centre has finally ordered a full safety inspection of the Mullaperiyar dam, responding to Kerala’s long-standing demand and a Supreme Court plea. An expert committee will examine the dam and submit its report within four months. english.mathrubhumi.com/news/k #Mullaperiyar #DamSafety #KeralaNews #SupremeCourt #IndiaUpdates

  2. 🌊 Modeling a potential dam breach — and how panic spread beyond the real watershed

    This project assessed the potential consequences of a dam failure at a mine-water impoundment in the Svystunova Gully.

    🔹 Reconstructed the original pre-impoundment terrain from archival topographic maps.
    🔹 Used Sentinel-based land-cover classification to assign variable Manning’s roughness coefficients.
    🔹 Built a modern DEM including the dam structure and current flooded zone.
    🔹 Simulated dam-break flood dynamics in GRASS GIS — frame by frame.
    🔹 Produced a video visualization to help local communities understand real risks (and ignore fake ones).
    🔹 The results were later featured in regional media and used in discussions about mine-water safety.

    “Libya has been reeling from a massive flood that left more than 5,000 people dead and thousands more missing. The eastern city of Derna was hit by a huge flash flood late on Sunday that witnesses likened to a tsunami, after two upstream dams burst when torrential rains brought by Storm Daniel battered the region. Satellite images show the extent of the damage..”
