This review provides a broad overview of the current state of flood research, current
challenges, and future directions. Beginning with a discussion of flood-generating …

Abstract Intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) curves–sometimes also called precipitation
frequency estimates–are used to design urban drainage systems for stormwater control and …

A strong atmospheric river made landfall in southwestern British Columbia, Canada on
November 14th, 2021, bringing two days of intense precipitation to the region. The resulting …

This paper introduces a framework for estimating stationary and non-stationary return levels,
return periods, and risks of climatic extremes using Bayesian inference. This framework is …

The increasing effort to develop and apply nonstationary models in hydrologic frequency
analyses under changing environmental conditions can be frustrated when the additional …

Current practice using probabilistic methods applied for designing hydraulic structures
generally assume that extreme events are stationary. However, many studies in the past …

Statistical and physically-based methods have been used for designing and assessing
water infrastructure such as spillways and stormwater drainage systems. Traditional …

Mediterranean basins can be impacted by severe floods caused by extreme rainfall, and
there is a growing awareness about the possible increase in these heavy rainfall events due …

Flood frequency analysis in urban watersheds is complicated by nonstationarities of annual
peak records associated with land use change and evolving urban stormwater infrastructure …

Conventional methods for designing infrastructure that is subject to flood risk, such as dams
and levees, assume a stationary design flood. However, observed and potential non …
