Calculations show that in an extreme year with a "probable maximum flood," the spillway would be far too small.
Traditionally, deterministic flood procedures such as the Probable Maximum Flood have been used for critical infrastructure design.
Flood series with different severities are obtained by peaks-over-threshold (POT) sampling in four flood thresholds.
Multiple trend analysis of the annual flood series showed only few negative trends.
Probable maximum snow accumulation (PMSA) is one of the key variables used to estimate the spring probable maximum flood (PMF).
The maximum flood discharge per unit area is inversely related to the size of the basin.
An estimate of the probable maximum rate of runoff may be required for the design of channels, drains or culverts, or to estimate maximum flood levels.
b Maximum flooding surface of the Shaximiao Formation.
The combination of hydrological and hydraulic models was evaluated using post-flood surveys defining maximum flooded area and flood depths.
The latest Illyrian 3rd-order maximum flooding surface corresponds to maximum abundances of carbonates and marine phytoplankton.
