The scopes of study are as follows :

• Collect and analyse hydrological data, engineering data and actual dam construction data for dambreak analysis.
  
  
• Study causes of dambreak such as earthquake, overtopping, piping through dam body or foundation, failure of water control equipment, failure of dam body, foundation failure, and sabotage etc.
  
  
• Study possible damage to dams in the terms of dimension, shape, time to fail, by using assumptions for the analysis and utilizing appropriate and up-to-date mathematical model.
  
  
• Study flood hydrographs caused by dam failure. The study shall include factors such as geometrical characteristics, water surface area, downstream water level, and other related factors to determine flood hydrograph and peak discharge. The study shall use appropriate and up-to-date mathematical model.
  
  
• Collect and conduct additional topographical survey if necessary for developing land use map, and development trend for the risk area.
  
  
• Collect and conduct additional topographical survey if necessary for developing digital map with details sufficient for the study of flood movement. Check the details of existing DEM (1:4,000 scale) and use as base map for the study.
  
  
• Study flood movement hydraulically, procure and use a 2D mathematical model to study downstream area with the following conditions prior to dam failure: normal, flood and extreme flood.
  
  
• Develop inundation maps due to dam failure which show topographical details, land use, town planning, land development trend for risk areas.
  
  
• Develop inundation maps due to dam failure which show flood severity level for risk areas.
  
  
• Study and develop Emergency Preparedness Plans (EPP) for dam failure case, and for flood caused by large discharge from dam.
  
  
• Study and formulate action plan for involved authorities. The action plans shall address normal condition, prior-to the effect of dam failure condition, during the effect of dam failure condition, and after the effect of dam failure condition.
  
  
• Study and formulate action plan for involved authorities. The action plans shall address normal condition, prior-to the effect of dam failure condition, during the effect of dam failure condition, and after the effect of dam failure condition.
  
  
• To study and formulate the guideline for involved authorities in damage assessment.
  
  
• To study possible related damages from flood caused by dam failure such as damage in flooded areas.
  
  
• Study and formulate remedial plan for damaged area.
