The method, using slope buckling safety factor to measure the degree of dam-break hazard, results in the unscientific conclusions of identical dam-break risk with respect to the desolate & uninhabited gobi desert and densely populated & highly economic-developed city. On the basis of vulnerability theory, a dam-break hazard vulnerability assessment index system, which comprehensively considering the inherent risks of dam-break and the intrinsic vulnerability of hazard-affected bodies, was established. The production of dam-break hazard-causing factor intensity, including the current dam height, reservoir capacity & downstream main ditch longitudinal, and accident probability by the Monte Carlo method is the inherent risk level of dam-break. The result by the multiplying physical exposure and the intrinsic vulnerability, including household fitness index & the emergency self-help index, as well as the disaster relief capacity is the hazard-affected body vulnerability. Results are contributable to further consummate the vulnerability risk assessment technology and the reliability of dam-break hazard.

Abstract In the middle of the São Francisco basin, the sub-basins of Indaiá and Borrachudo river highlight the considerable potential for unconventional hydrocarbon exploration. The present study seeks to evaluate the groundwater resource's intrinsic and specific vulnerability in the Indaiá and Borrachudo basins as an environmental baseline study for further development in the shale gas industry. The overlay and index GOD method was applied to assess the aquifer's intrinsic susceptibility regarding the Groundwater confinement (G), the Overlying Strata (O), and the Depth of the groundwater table (D). The specific vulnerability assessment considered the intrinsic vulnerability and the land cover/use of the area, concerning the diversity and the toxicity of pollutants inherent in each anthropogenic activity. The results indicate that 52.69%, 25.12%, and 17.57% of the aquifer area have Medium, High, and Extreme intrinsic vulnerability, respectively. The specific vulnerability assessment suggests an overall vulnerability reduction due to the low anthropogenic stress on the basin. Three gas research wells overlay moderate intrinsic vulnerability. One well is above the high vulnerability area, which concerns how the unconventional industry could develop regarding groundwater susceptibility in this ecosystem.
