Topographical data + Hydrological data + Cloud computing = good dams
What is the best location for the dam for optimum results?
What is the best height for the dam?
It would take 35 days of non-stop computation

Digital Elevation Model
Whether it makes economic sense ?

Recovery.gov
First government-wide system to move to the cloud Savings of over $750,000 in current budget cycle
“Cloud computing strikes me as a perfect tool to help achieve greater transparency and accountability. Moving to the cloud allows us to provide better service at lower costs. I hope this development will inspire other government entities to accelerate their own efforts. The American taxpayers would be the winners.’’ -
Earl E. Devaney, the Board’s Chairman.
