According to the World Health Organization (WHO), floods are one of the most important natural disasters in the world, resulting in the severe loss of human lives and intense destruction of infrastructure. The frequent floods in recent decades have caused most parts of Iran to be affected by periodic and destructive floods. Consequently, the casualties and financial losses of floods have increased significantly. The present study aims to investigate redesigning the fuse plug, emergency overflow, and flood system at Ramshir Dam, Iran. In this regard, using a two-dimensional mathematical model, floods with a return period of 10 and 100 years with different scenarios have been investigated. Four scenarios were analyzed, including the current situation, flood channel dredging scenario, flood channel overhaul scenario, and flood channel overhaul scenario with reservoir dredging. The results show the following: (1) The flood channel in its current state cannot even discharge flows lower than the design, i.e., 1400 m3/s, and the flow overflows from the embankments on its sides. (2) Also, the reservoir dredging prevents the failure of the second fuse plug in the 100-year return period (flow rate 4370 m3/s). (3) Discharge more than 2400 m3/s cubic meters led to the activation of the first fuse plug. (4) The present research findings are of particular and essential importance in flood management. (5) The results of this research were based on the rehabilitation and simulation of the diversion dam facilities in the control and conveyance of flood and on three factors of spillway, flood channel, and flood plain, and the correct function of the fuse plug was reviewed.
