3/6/2023 0 Comments February Update ContinuedThe team utilize the hydrology software HEC-HMS to run a Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP) model in order to simulate the worst case flood our watershed area could possibly experience. This provided the team with a peak flow value, allowing us to begin the second half of the project. This semester, the physical elements of the dam must be designed. This includes the height of the dam, length of the spillway, potential outlet structures, and the basin size. In February 2023, research was conducted in order to discover the size of the basin. The size of the basin allows us to know the volume of the actual standing reservoir, which is the first part in determining the height of the dam. As of the beginning of March, the basin size has been identified and work will continue to design essential parameters of the final dam design.
