Abstract: A procedure is proposed which uses probability concepts to achieve a consistent and realistic assessment of the probable maximum flood (PMF) and its use in design or evaluation of high‐hazard dams. A PMF computation involves ...

Abstract: The hydrologic design of dams and determining flood levels for nuclear plant siting requires postulating windwave occurrence concurrent with maximum flood levels. Practical postulations of windwave magnitudes require ...

Abstract: Estimates of peak flood discharge on ungauged watersheds are often determined from regional relationships. This approach, however, ignores sitespecific information that might be available from sources such as historic high ...
