🌊 Modeling a potential dam breach β€” 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.

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