| description abstract | This case study presents a risk analysis reassessment for the oldest dam in the Tennessee River basin—the Wilson Dam—based on postdam flow data. The hydrologic risk of old Wilson Dam was computed from historical flow data (spanning pre and postdam periods) and reservoir volume at the dam site. Additional flow data not previously used in the design phase of the dam helped to update more robustly the probability of flood occurrence that exceeded a particular return period during the life of a dam. The generalized extreme value (GEV) distribution was fitted to historical peak flow (at the dam site) and annual maximum reservoir volume using the | |
