Return period curves for extreme 5-min rainfall amounts at the Barcelona urban network [PDF]
, 2019 Heavy rainfall episodes are relatively common in the conurbation of Barcelona and neighbouring cities (NE Spain), usually due to storms generated by convective phenomena in summer and eastern and south-eastern advections in autumn.

Uncertainty compliant design flood estimation [PDF]
Water Resources Research, 2014 Hydraulic infrastructures are commonly designed with reference to target values of flood peak, estimated using probabilistic techniques, such as flood frequency analysis. The application of these techniques underlies levels of uncertainty, which are sometimes quantified but normally not accounted for explicitly in the decision regarding design ...

Climate, orography and scale controls on flood frequency in Triveneto (Italy) [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences, 2016 The growing concern about the possible effects of climate change on flood frequency regime is leading Authorities to review previously proposed reference procedures for design-flood estimation, such as national flood frequency models.

Adapting to climate change: the self-learning dike [PDF]
, 2007 A problem with the current probabilistic flood prevention strategy in the Netherlands is that it builds on knowledge about the probability distributions for extreme discharges, which are subject to considerable uncertainties due to limited peak discharge

Investigating the social value of the Ripon rivers flood alleviation scheme [PDF]
, 2015 This paper argues for an approach to flood alleviation design that considers the need not only for technical knowledge, but also a social perspective. It is predicted that more intense rainfall and rising sea levels will result in a greater number of ...

Impacts of water surface area of watershed on design flood
Water Science and Engineering, 2014 In order to analyze the impact of the water surface area of a watershed on the design flood, the watershed was classified into a land watershed and a water surface watershed for flood flow calculation at the same time interval.

The Past and Present of Discharge Capacity Modeling for Spillways—A Swedish Perspective
Fluids, 2019 Most of the hydropower dams in Sweden were built before 1980. The present dam-safety guidelines have resulted in higher design floods than their spillway discharge capacity and the need for structural upgrades.

Numerical Simulation of Backwater Effects by a Downstream Dam using HEC-RAS: A case of SunKoshi- Marin Diversion Headworks, Nepal [PDF]
Journal of Hydraulic and Water EngineeringThis study evaluates the scenario of the flood backwater impacts on upstream of the Sunkoshi-Marin headworks. The design flood and hydrological analysis were carried out based on the stream flow data from 1968 to 2015 of Khurkot station.
