Monte Carlo Simulation of Flood Frequency Curves from Rainfall - New CRC Technical Report
April 11, 2001
A new CRC technical report entitled ' Monte Carlo Simulation of Flood Frequency Curves from Rainfall' by Ataur Rahman, Erwin Weinmann, Tam Hoang, Eric Laurenson, Rory Nathan (CRC Report 01/4) is now available from the Centre Office.
CRC Project FL1 (Holistic approach to rainfall-based design flood estimation) aimed to reduce the bias and uncertainties in Australian design flood estimates by developing rainfall-based design flood estimation procedures which better take account of the interaction and joint probability of the different flood producing components, i.e. a holistic approach. The work described in this report examines a range of joint probability approaches to allow for the interaction of different components. The results certainly seem very promising, and suggest that a shift in thinking on design floods is not far away.
Copies of the report are available from the Centre Office for $27.50 (includes postage and GST within Australia).
