Accounting for Mixed Populations in Flood Frequency Analysis: Bulletin 17C Perspective
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Bulletin 17B and its proposed update, Bulletin 17C, continue to recognize difficulties in determining flood frequency estimates among streamflow records that contain flood peaks coming from different flood-generating ...
Advantages of Physically Based Flood Frequency Analysis with Long-Term Simulations for Iowa
Publisher: ASCE
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 ...
Developing a Spatial Regression Model Framework for Insured Flood Losses in Houston
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Events such as Hurricane Harvey in 2017, which struck Houston resulted in billions of dollars in reported flood insurance claims through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Currently, there is limited research ...
Flash Flooding in the Philadelphia Metropolitan Region
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Hydrometeorological analyses of rainfall and flood response are presented for urbanizing drainage basins in the Philadelphia metropolitan region. Research focuses on major flood events resulting from Tropical Storm Allison ...
Hydrologic Analyses of the July 17–18, 1996, Flood in Chicago and the Role of Urbanization
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: On July 17–18, 1996, two mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) passed through northeastern Illinois, causing a record 440-mm total storm rainfall within a 24-h period at Aurora, Illinois, with values exceeding 200 mm throughout ...
The Role of Climate in Monthly Baseflow Changes across the Continental United States
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Baseflow is the portion of streamflow that comes from groundwater and subsurface sources. Although baseflow is essential for sustaining streams during low flow and drought periods, we have little information about how and ...
