The failure of a dam gives rise to a flood wave that advances in the areabehind the dam or throght the valley below the dam. The effects of a dam break wavw originated in this way may be disastrous and may cause numerous fatalities as well as financial losses exceeding many times the price of the hydraulic structure itself.
