unfortunately, as correctly Helmut write, the command is not yet on the addons website.
In fact we did last year some changes in order to be compatible the software on Grass 7.0 (change of libraries) and there are yet a few errors writing the raster map outputs…
I need time to check the code and correct these last errors and we will put on the grass addon website.
I hope to find time during this week (maybe evenings…) I will conatct you soon and I will also inform the grass-dev mailing list.
We have also created a grass script to create the imput raster map with the dam (it is called r.dam). We will upload also this command.
Thank you very much for your interesting reply. Indeed, i would like so much
test your extension r.damflood. But i understand very well that you need
more time to correct last errors.
1/Pending improvements, would it be possible to use an older version of the
r.damflood exrtension compatible with an older version of Grass (Grass 6.4.2
for instance)?
2 / I spent my weekend looking for software that can mapping the simulation
of flood by dam failure. But the majority of them seem to be created by
american universities and their utilisation seems to require Arcgis spatial
analyst. Do you would know apllications reliable similar to yours not
requiring not free GIS owner (like arcgis)?
I also wanted to congratulate you and thank you for your research, really
usefull. I'm working actually on an artificial Dam in Nigeria.
I am extremely interested in this as well. In my office, having real-time dambreak analysis capability is extremely important. So, I am very much interested in obtaining your GRASS extension as well.
