ABSTRACT
The modification of the Regulation of the Spanish Hydraulic Public Domain, carried out through Royal Decree 9/2008, specified the obligation of owners of off-stream reservoirs of more than 5 m or more than 100,000 m3 to have the pertinent dam or off-stream reservoir classification study, before exempt.
Considering the enormous number of off-stream reservoirs that meet the current requirements (it is estimated between 28,000 and 100,000), the owners have been overwhelmed by the need to undertake this type of study. A help system is proposed for the classification of off-stream reservoirs based on the potential risk.
The system simplifies various processes through Machine Learning (ML) techniques, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and infrastructure asset management through the BIM (Building Information Modeling) methodology.
Three tools were developed:
- An interface in which, by introducing a few parameters related to the pools and the surrounding terrain, it is possible to know what type of pool it is based on the potential risk (A, B, or C), based on a Simplified Method developed from the ML regulations and techniques.
- An automated tool at Iber for preparing Off-stream reservoirs Classification Reports through an optimal process.
- The visualization of results in an advanced version in which all the information of the pool is integrated in a BIM environment.
This coffee talk will be given in Spanish.
SPEAKERS CV
Fernando Salazar received the Degree on Civil Engineering from the Technical University of Madrid in 2002, specializing in Hydraulics. He has worked in several dam and hydraulic projects, as well as in the development of emergency plans and hazard-potential classification of dams (being Mequinenza and Riba-Roja, in the Ebro river, among them). He is working for CIMNE since 2009, where he is the current Director of CIMNE-Madrid and the Project Development Director of CIMNE. He has fulfilled the Master on Numerical Methods in Engineering, obtaining the maximum qualification in his Master’s Thesis. He obtained his PhD at the UPC in 2017, qualified as Excellent Cum Laude.
Nathalia Silva is a Civil Engineer with a strong background in water resources, hydrology and hydraulics. She has a wide experience in water management sector, working on research of the behaviour of the most important rivers in Colombia and focusing her research experience on the analysis of hydraulic structures under climate change impacts. PhD student in Civil Engineering (UPC), MsC in Water Science and Engineering (IHE Delft Institute for Water Education), BsC in Pontificia Universidad Javeriana (Colombia).
Ernest Bladé i Castellet is a Dr. in Civil Engineering by Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC). He is the Director of Flumen Research Institute (joint UPC-CIMNE institute) and associate professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering of UPC and the Civil Engineering School of Barcelona. His research activity is focused in the fields of river dynamics and hydrological engineering and in the numerical modelling of related phenomena. Since long ago he has participated and coordinated national and international research projects in the field of Flood Risk assessing and management, and is one of the developers of Iber software and coordinator of the Iberaula project.
Marcos Sanz Ramos is a Civil Engineer from the UPC, and expert on hydraulic and hydrological modeling and GIS applications. He is currently researcher at the Flumen Institute (CIMNE-UPC) and is an active member of the development, dissemination and training team of the Iber program (www.iberaula.es). He has participated in national and European competitive R&D projects. He has extensive experience in flooding analysis, in general, and in the classification of dams and off-stream reservoirs, in particular, having carried out more than 13 projects in the last 5 years. Likewise, he is working on his own line of research on 'Classification of embankment dams' using the Iber program.
