The Brumadinho dam disaster occurred on the 25 January, 2019 when Dam I, anupstream tailings dam at the Corrego do Feijao iron ore mine, 9 kilometres (5.6mi) east of Brumadinho, Minas Gerais, Brazil, suffered a catastrophic failure.Over 248 people died and over 2.88 billion worth of property were lost ordamaged due to the subsequent mud flow and flooding. This is merely 4 yearsafter the previous Mariana dam break affecting over 1 million people downstreamdue to iron ore mining waste flowing downstream into river basin. To prevent asimilar tragedy from reoccurring, it's useful to examine the cause of theBrumadinho dam break and compare observations with model simulations. HEC RAS,developed by US Army Corps of Engineers, is used to model the mud flow from theBrumadinho dam break based on the NASA SRTM elevation dataset over Brazil. Theextent of the mud flow from the HEC RAS simulation matches the actual floodingdue to the dam break. This simulation technique can later be used for futuredam collapse predictions.
