Estimating design flood runoff volume [PDF]

Journal of Flood Risk Management, 2020
AbstractStandard flood risk estimation methods in the United Kingdom have largely focused on peak flows at ungauged locations. However, the importance of whole‐hydrograph and event volume estimation in a design context is increasing with the application of unsteady‐state hydraulic models and construction of sustainable drainage systems.

Assessment of at‐site design flood estimation methods using an improved event‐based design flood estimation tool

Journal of Flood Risk Management, 2021
Internationally, the occurrence and frequency of floods, along with the uncertainty involved in the estimation thereof, contribute to the practitioners' dilemma to make a single, justifiable decision when various design flood estimation methods are used.

Urban and river flooding: Comparison of flood risk management approaches in the UK and China and an assessment of future knowledge needs [PDF]

, 2019
Increased urbanisation, economic growth, and long-term climate variability have made both the UK and China more susceptible to urban and river flooding, putting people and property at increased risk.

Collection, storage and management of high-water marks data: praxis and recommendations

E3S Web of Conferences, 2016
High-water marks data, in its most general definition, is a precious source of information for the many stakeholders involved in risk culture, inundation mapping, river, estuarine or coastal studies, etc. Although there have already been many initiatives

Analysis of flood control risk in floodwater utilization considering the uncertainty of flood volume and peak

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023
Introduction: A design flood is a hypothetical flood used for the design of reservoirs and other hydrologic engineering infrastructures. Among many hydrological properties of a design flood, flood volume and peak can significantly affect the safety of ...

Comment on \u201cCan assimilation of crowdsourced data in hydrological modelling improve flood prediction?\u201d by Mazzoleni et al. (2017) [PDF]

, 2017
Citizen science and crowdsourcing are gaining increasing attention among hydrologists. In a recent contribution, Mazzoleni et al. (2017) investigated the integration of crowdsourced data (CSD) into hydrological models to improve the accuracy of real-time

Uncertainty Based Design Floods

, 2021
Many statistical distributions approximate well the frequent values of the maximum discharges, but have a very large spread for medium or rare probabilities of exceedance. This scattering defines a range of uncertainty of maximum discharges outside the measured values.

Study on reservoir time-varying design flood of inflow based on Poisson process with time-dependent parameters [PDF]

Proceedings of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences, 2018
The time-varying design flood can make full use of the measured data, which can provide the reservoir with the basis of both flood control and operation scheduling.
