Differing DAMBRK results than in User Manual

Dear Michael:

Jim explained to me that you are not getting the same results with our tutorial lessons as what are described in the DAMBRK User Manual.

Here's the simple explaination:

The DAMBRK User Manual was originally written in 1986 (by me) when only the 1984 version of DAMBRK program was available. In 1988, Dr. Danny Fread released the 1988 version of DAMBRK. Since then the NWS (Danny Fread) has released 3 additional new versions. As such, the analysis results for some of the models have changed. However, I never updated the User Manual tutorials to show the newer results. However, the results should be very close to the 1984 results that I refer to in the tutorials.

I hope that this gives you some insight. If you have any additional questions or need any further information, please contact me or Jim again.

Sincerely,

Chris E. Maeder, M.S.
