Modelling reservoirs operation and stability of earth dams: A state of art

Dams are among the most crucial hydraulic structures that play a fundamental role in flood control, hydroelectricity power generation, and various other purposes for which dams are constructed, In recent decades, simulation models have significantly facilitated understanding dam performance under multiple conditions and predicting potential catastrophes in emergency situations such as dam failure and extreme floods, many dams face the risk of slope failure due to water pressure or foundation soil conditions upon which the dam is constructed, Therefore, this research paper presents studies that have addressed dam simulation models, taking into consideration various operational and flood conditions, Additionally, it examines studies concerning dam slope failures, their most significant impacts and the methodologies for building these simulation models.
