Natural Hazards, 2020
The recurring flooding causes loss of life and damage to buildings and other structures, including bridges, sewerage systems, roadways and canals. It also frequently damages power transmission and sometimes power generation, which then has knock-on effects caused by the loss of power.

Flood Frequency Analysis for Sicily, Italy
Journal of Hydrologic Engineering, 2006In this paper a regional flood frequency analysis based on the two-component extreme value TCEV distribution is developed using flood data recorded in Sicily. The hierarchical approach, characterized by three investigation levels for estimating the parameters of the theoretical distribution, is discussed first.

Flood Frequency Analysis for the 1988 Truro Floods
Water and Environment Journal, 1990ABSTRACTIn January 1988 the city of Truro experienced a severe flood from the River Kenwyn. The return period of this event was initially estimated at 350 years using the methodology recommended in the Flood Studies Report1. In October of the same year a second flood, of even greater magnitude, occurred. The subsequent investigations employed a variety

Hydrological processes are present in time and space in a manner that is partly predictable and partly random. We call them stochastic processes. In that case, the value of certain observations is not correlated with adjacent observations. This type of approach is appropriate for observations/measurements of extreme hydrological events such as floods ...

Frequency Analysis of Flood Damage
Journal of Hydrologic Engineering, 2005Determination of flood damage frequencies constitutes a fundamental component of any comprehensive flood-risk methodology. A time series of flood damage may contain zero values. Therefore, the probability distribution of damage should be derived taking into consideration these zero values.

Bivariate Flood Frequency Analysis of Nonstationary Flood Characteristics
Journal of Hydrologic Engineering, 2019AbstractModeling the simultaneous behavior of flood characteristics, namely peak, volume, and duration, is essential for water resource planning and management.

Multifractal flood frequency analysis
2007Hydrology and more generally sciences involved in water resources management, researches and technological or operational development face a fundamental difficulty: the extreme variability of hydrological fields. It clearly appears today that this variability is a function of the observation scale and yield natural hazards such as floods or droughts ...

Recent advances in flood frequency analysis
Reviews of Geophysics, 1995Research on flood frequency analysis has taken place with varying intensity over the last couple of decades. The eighties proved to be important years with many significant contributions, reviewed for instance byGreis[1983],Potter[1987],Kirby and Moss[1987],Cunnane[1987],NRC[1988],WMO[1989], andBobée and Ashkar[1991].

On the value of information to flood frequency analysis
Water Resources Research, 1975On the basis of Monte Carlo experiments it was noted that in the absence of information about the distribution of floods and the economic losses associated with the design of flood reduction measures, the use of the normal distribution to represent the distribution of floods is generally better than either the Gumbel, log normal, or Weibull ...
