Hydrology Research, 2020 The construction of check dams in northwestern China has resulted in nonstationary changes in flood peak discharge series; the stationary assumption of the conventional hydrological frequency analysis is no longer satisfied.

Water Resources Research, 2018 Flood risk management (FRM) has repeatedly evolved through paradigm shifts in human history. In modern FRM, a design flood, which reflects the protection standard or safety level of the FRM, is one of the most important elements. It has been historically

The role of insurance in reducing direct risk: the case of flood insurance [PDF]
, 2014 The provision of flood insurance is a patchwork, with countries showing varying degrees of penetration, coverage types, demand levels, and design structures.

Beyond Simple Trend Tests: Detecting Significant Changes in Design‐Flood Quantiles
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Changes in annual maximum flood (AMF), which are usually detected using simple trend tests (e.g., Mann‐Kendall test (MKT)), are expected to change design‐flood estimates.

Nutrient Management for Higher Productivity of Swarna Sub1 Under Flash Floods Areas [PDF]
, 2020 Two field experiments were conducted at Regional Agricultural Research Station, Tarahara, Nepal during 2012 and 2013 to determine the effect of agronomic management on growth and yield of Swarna Sub1 under flash floods.

HydrologyFlood frequency analysis at large scales, essential for the development of flood risk maps, is hindered by the scarcity of gauge flow data. Suitable methods are thus required to predict flooding in ungauged basins, a notoriously complex problem in ...

Multivariate hydrologic design methods under nonstationary conditions and application to engineering practice [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2019 Multivariate hydrologic design under stationary conditions is traditionally performed through the use of the design criterion of the return period, which is theoretically equal to the average inter-arrival time of flood events divided by the exceedance ...

Flood risk modeling of urbanized estuarine areas under uncertainty: a case study for Whitesands, UK [PDF]
, 2015 Aims: The impacts of catastrophic flooding have steadily increased over the last few decades. This work investigated the effectiveness of flood modeling, with low dimensionality models along with a wealth of soft (qualitative) and hard (quantitative ...

An insight into flood frequency for design floods [PDF]
WIT Transactions on Ecology and the Environment, 2008 The maximum annual flood (MAF) series of peak flows have been commonly used in the literature to estimate the parameters of a statistical model in order to estimate design floods for the proper protection and management of flows during extreme events. The use of maximum annual flows restricts the size of the available sample to the number of available ...
