Regional analysis of runoff thresholds behaviour in Southern Italy based on theoretically derived distributions [PDF]

Advances in Geosciences, 2011
The analysis of runoff thresholds and, more in general, the identification of main mechanisms of runoff generation controlling the flood frequency distribution is investigated, by means of theoretically derived flood frequency distributions, in the ...

Some best‐fit probability distributions for at‐site flood frequency analysis of the Ume River

Journal of Flood Risk Management, 2020
At‐site flood frequency analysis is a direct method of flood estimation at a given site. The choice of an appropriate probability distribution and parameter estimation method plays a vital role in at‐site frequency analysis. In the current article, flood

Climate change impact on extreme precipitation and peak flood magnitude and frequency: observations from CMIP6 and hydrological models

Natural Hazards, 2022
Changes in climate intensity and frequency, including extreme events, heavy and intense rainfall, have the greatest impact on water resource management and flood risk management.

The effects of urbanization on floods in the Austin metropolitan area, Texas [PDF]

, 1986
This report looks at compiled data from 1956-1980 to "provide a technique for estimating the magnitude and frequency of flood-peak discharges at ungaged sites and to estimate the effects of changes in urbanization on flood peaks."The effects of ...

Orographic Controls on Subdaily Rainfall Statistics and Flood Frequency in the Colorado Front Range, USA

Geophysical Research Letters, 2020
Generalizable relationships for how subdaily rainfall statistics imprint into runoff statistics are lacking. We use the Colorado Front Range, known for destructive rainfall‐triggered floods and landslides, to assess whether orographic patterns in runoff ...

Stochastic urban pluvial flood hazard maps based upon a spatial-temporal rainfall generator [PDF]

, 2015
It is a common practice to assign the return period of a given storm event to the urban pluvial flood event that such storm generates. However, this approach may be inappropriate as rainfall events with the same return period can produce different urban ...

Flash Flood Susceptibility Assessment and Zonation by Integrating Analytic Hierarchy Process and Frequency Ratio Model with Diverse Spatial Data

Water, 2022
Flash floods are the most dangerous kinds of floods because they combine the destructive power of a flood with incredible speed. They occur when heavy rainfall exceeds the ability of the ground to absorb it.
