RISProbabilistic Behavior of Floods of Record in the United States
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Literature on the probability distribution function (PDF) of annual maximum flood discharges is extensive, yet the literature on the PDF of the flood of record (FOR) is sparse. This is partially due to two facts: (1) the ...
Is Precipitation in Northern New England Becoming More Extreme? Statistical Analysis of Extreme Rainfall in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine and Updated Estimates of the 100-Year Storm
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The objective of this study was to investigate the presence of trends in extreme precipitation (denoted MAXP and defined as the annual maximum daily precipitation depth) time series for coastal northern New England and to ...
Examining Water Use Regimes of Suburban Watersheds at Annual and Subannual Timescales
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Human water use can place considerable stress on hydrologic systems. Humans directly affect the water cycle through water withdrawals and return flows. Aside from climate change, humans indirectly impact hydrologic systems ...
Impact of Streamflow Persistence on Hydrologic Design
