Primes

• Blockage Release Dynamics
  • In geophysics, landslide-dam outburst floods, glacial-lake outburst floods, and river ice jams all store water behind an unengineered barrier until catastrophic release.

    This sourceEstablishes that landslide and moraine dams — barriers never engineered to impound water — store a lake until overtopping or piping breaches them, releasing the accumulated volume in an outburst flood whose peak discharge far exceeds inflow, and reviews controlled-drawdown (spillway, tunnel, siphon) mitigation.
