Abstract: Flood frequency estimation in the United States has been primarily driven by statistical analysis for the past one hundred years. For ungauged locations, the regionalized equations are developed to provide annual exceedance ...

Abstract: Extreme rainfall in midwestern United States has gotten more common over the last half century, thus increasing flooding events across the region. As a result, traditional flood mitigation measures are commonly overwhelmed ...

Abstract: An increase in extreme rainfall frequency across the midwestern United States has been accompanied by an increase in damaging floods. The US has over 90,000 dams, more than 75% of which are small and rarely used for flood ...
