Abstract
In the aftermath of the numerous severe storm events and the Kaloko Dam failure in February and March of 2006, Federal emergency appropriations were made. As one aspect of the Federal assistance, the Hawai'i Water Systems Technical Studies Program, Dam Break Analyses was created to help the State of Hawai'i Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) Dam Safety Office conduct dam break studies. This paper focuses on the hydraulic modeling and dam failure aspects of the studies conducted for DLNR.
