Variability of rainfall temporal patterns and its impacts on design flood estimation

Rahman, Ataur; Mahbub, Parvez; Rahman, Khondker; Gold … - University of Western Sydney; University of Central …; … - 2006

Design rainfall temporal pattern is an important input to the rainfall-based flood estimation methods. Although temporal patterns generally show a high degree of variability from storm to storm, an average temporal pattern is generally used in the Design Event Approach, the recommended...

Regionalisation of design rainfalls in Victoria Australia for design flood estimation by joint probability approach

Kader, Faruk; Brisbane; Rahman, Ataur - University of Western Sydney; University of Western Sydney; … - 2004

The currently adopted rainfall-based design flood estimation technique in Australia known as the Design Event Approach is widely criticised and currently being challenged by a more holistic approach known as the Joint Probability Approach to design flood estimation. In this new approach, the...
