A deterministic approach was used to calculate the hydraulic elements of dam breakage during a flood. In the present study, base terrain data, hydrological data, and dam engineering data were integrated using the MIKE-21 dam-break model to analyze flood routing under the most serious scenarios. The application of Geographic Information System technology integrated with hydrological modeling for mapping flood-inundated areas and depth can play a momentous role in further minimizing the risk and possible damage. Flood disasters from dam breaks cause serious loss of human life and immense damage to infrastructure and economic stability.
