Applied Sciences, 2021 All flood hazard and risk assessment suffer from a certain degree of uncertainty due to multiple factors, such as flood frequency analysis, hydrodynamic model calibration, or flood damage (magnitude–damage functions) models. The uncertainty linked to the

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 ...

Regional Flood Frequency Analysis Using Computer Simulations [PDF]
, 2017 Different probability distribution methods were employed to determine the flood frequency analysis using computer simulations. Many probability distributions including Gumbel, lognormal, log-Pearson type iii, General Extreme value have been tried to fit ...

Sampling uncertainty of UK design flood estimation
Hydrology Research, 2021 The UK standard for estimating flood frequencies is outlined by the flood estimation handbook (FEH) and associated updates. Estimates inevitably come with uncertainty due to sampling error as well as model and measurement error.

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 ...

Flood Frequency Analysis of Akçay Stream
Sakarya Üniversitesi Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü Dergisi, 2018 It is extremely important to predict flood forecastsin planning water systems and reducing flood damage. For the Akçay stream,which is one of the important branches of the Sakarya river , the floodforecasts that can be seen at certain time frequencies ...

Reassessing flood frequency for the Sussex Ouse, Lewes: the inclusion of historical flood information since AD 1650 [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2014 The application of historical flood information as a tool for augmenting instrumental flood data is increasingly recognised as a valuable tool. Most previous studies have focused on large catchments with historic settlements, this paper applies the ...

Bivariate Flood Frequency Analysis Using Copulas
Proceedings, 2018 Flood frequency estimation for the design of hydraulic structures is usually performed as a univariate analysis of flood event magnitudes. However, recent studies show that for accurate return period estimation of the flood events, the dependence and the

Flood Frequency Analyses over Different Basin Scales in the Blue Nile River Basin, Ethiopia
Hydrology, 2020 The frequency and intensity of flood quantiles and its attendant damage in agricultural establishments have generated a lot of issues in Ethiopia. Moreover, precise estimates of flood quantiles are needed for efficient design of hydraulic structures ...

Regionalisation of flood frequencies based on flood type-specific mixture distributions
Journal of Hydrology X, 2021 The regionalisation of flood frequencies is a precondition for the estimation of flood statistics for ungauged basins. It is often based on either the concept of hydrological similarity of catchments or spatial proximity. Similarity is usually defined by
