Abstract: For a variety of design purposes there is increasing interest in estimating probabilities of rare floods, with magnitudes up to the probable maximum flood. One estimation approach, which we term “stochastic storm transposition,” ...

Abstract: Traditional stormwater management does not mitigate groundwater depletion resulting from groundwater pumping and reduction in recharge. Infiltration practices, such as rain gardens, offer a potentially effective approach ...

Abstract: Studies on the effects of anthropogenic climate change have found that the magnitude and frequency of intense precipitation events are expected to increase over the next century for the midwestern United States. The goal ...

Abstract: A new approach for estimating floodplain limits using continuous-simulation modeling is proposed. A hydraulic model with flood-routing capabilities is coupled with a continuous-simulation hydrologic model to compute river ...
