Table 1 An example collage of visualizing reservoir and tail water levels based on engineering disciplines

From: Visualization requirements of engineers for risk assessment of embankment dams

Discipline

Reservoir and tail water level

Geotechnical Engineers

Would like to see the top 10 events that have occurred and study the differential rating & performance for these events.

Geologists

Would like to graphically see water levels per cross-section with piezometer readings embedded.

Hydrologists

Would like to visualize inflow-volume-duration-frequency curves (1–7 day computed probabilities).

Structural Engineers

Would like to see hydrologic loading data for coincident pools for seismic Probable Mass Function’s.
