In response to flood risk, design flood estimation is a cornerstone of planning, infrastructure
design, setting of insurance premiums, and emergency response planning. Under stationary …

Future flooding is likely to exceed current design flood levels which are based on historical
extreme rainfall characteristics. The Clausius-Clapeyron relationship explains the …

Climate change is expected to impact the severity and frequency of floods, which has
implications for flood risk management. Design floods and derived flood frequency curves …

Widespread floods affecting multiple subbasins in a river basin have implications for
infrastructure, agriculture, environment, and groundwater recharge. However, the crucial …

A higher chance of extreme floods is often revealed by a probability distribution with a
slower decay and a heavier tail. There are numerous and conflicting findings in previous …

Floods are the primary natural hazard in the French Mediterranean area, causing damages
and fatalities every year. These floods are triggered by heavy precipitation events (HPEs) …

Flood estimates used in engineering design are commonly based on intensity–duration–
frequency (IDF) curves derived from historical extreme rainfalls. Under global warming these …

Continuous rainfall is often required for flood estimation and water resources assessment.
However, stochastically generated continuous rainfall records are typically inconsistent with …

Estimating potential changes in future flood patterns based on anticipated changes in
hydrological characteristics within the basin is crucial for mitigating flood damage and …

Climate change impacts have the potential to alter the design rainfall estimates around the
world. Decreasing trends in the summer and winter rainfall in New South Wales (NSW) …
