Flood frequency analysis

open access: yesEos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1979
Panattoni and Wallis' treatment of the flood frequency analysis problem i s masterful; one hopes that its appearance will put and end to the proliferation of naive efforts to establish a nonsubjective statistical method. Their treatment of the systems analysis phase of the problem makes use of the latest computational techniques, but one doubts that ...

Combining information from multiple flood projections in a hierarchical Bayesian framework

open access: yes, 2016
This study demonstrates, in the context of flood frequency analysis, the potential of a recently proposed hierarchical Bayesian approach to combine information from multiple models.

Flood Frequency Analysis in West Africa

open access: yesJournal of Flood Risk Management
Devastating flood events are recurrently impacting West Africa. To mitigate flood impacts and reduce the vulnerability of populations, a better knowledge on the frequency of these events is crucial.

Gumbel’s Extreme Value Distribution for Flood Frequency Analyses of Timis River [PDF]

open access: yesAerul şi Apa: Componente ale Mediului
One of the major problems in the engineering design of water resource is the estimation of peak flood flows. In probability theory and statistics, flood frequency analysis is used to obtain the distribution of flood probabilities.

Introducing empirical and probabilistic regional envelope curves into a mixed bounded distribution function [PDF]

open access: yesHydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2010
A novel approach to consider additional spatial information in flood frequency analyses, especially for the estimation of discharges with recurrence intervals larger than 100 years, is presented. For this purpose, large flood quantiles, i.e.

Projecting flood hazard under climate change: an alternative approach to model chains [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Flood hazard projections under climate change are typically derived by applying model chains consisting of the following elements: "emission scenario – global climate model – downscaling, possibly including bias correction – hydrological model ...

Evaluation of Flood Risk Reduction Project at Tenggang River, Semarang City, Central Java Province, Indonesia

open access: yesJournal of the Civil Engineering Forum, 2018
Evaluation of flood risk reduction at Tenggang River is needed to reduce the urban and coastal flood from high-intensity rainfall and sea level rise. This paper mainly discusses rainfall frequency analysis, simulation of hydraulic structure performed by ...

Quantifying uncertainty in urban flooding analysis considering hydro-climatic projection and urban development effects [PDF]

open access: yesHydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2011
How will the combined impacts of land use change, climate change, and hydrologic modeling influence changes in urban flood frequency and what is the main uncertainty source of the results?

Flood frequency analysis of Casimcea river

open access: yesIOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2021
Abstract Flood frequency analysis is the most important statistical technique in understanding the nature and magnitude of high discharge in a river. This technique is used for establishing a relationship between flood magnitude and frequency of occurrence (return period).

Distributed River Basin Modeling for Analyzing Flood Mitigation Measures under Non-stationary Conditions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Flood frequency analysis is in the main component of flood risk management projects, influencing pre and post-flood activities. Apart from its importance and the intense research in the area, the available hydrological methods are not adequate ...
