RSM Tool: ADCIRC Fact Sheet

<div>Prediction of potential storm surge water levels is critical in the design of flood and storm damage reduction projects and protection of facilities and infrastructure and beneficial to planning and evacuation of low-lying areas if a storm event occurs. Comprehensive models of hydrodynamic simulations can support operations and maintenance and help minimize dredging, maintain channel reliability, manage inlet and adjacent beach sediment, and predict navigation project performance. To predict storm surge water level and help control the impact of storm damage, experts in hydrodynamic engineering at the ERDC Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory (CHL) helped to develop the ADvanced CIRCulation Model</div><div>(ADCIRC).</div>
