Extreme flood simulation with synthetic extreme precipitation events raises unavoidable questions about the choice of initial conditions. State-of-the-art extreme flood estimation frameworks propose to address these questions with the help of semicontinuou ...

Extreme floods are commonly estimated with the help of design storms and hydrological models. In this paper, we propose a new method to take into account the relationship between precipitation intensity (P) and air temperature (T) to account for potential ...

In the context of dam safety, reliable safety flood estimation methods are necessary to guarantee a sufficiently designed spillway capacity. Todayâ s state of the art allows to approach this topic under different angles. Statistical extrapolations are com ...

Extreme flood estimates for dam safety are routinely obtained from hydrologic simulations driven by selected design storms. The temporal structure of such design storms can be obtained from Rainfall Mass Curves (RMCs), which are adimensionalized curves of ...

In this paper, a case study on the estimations of extreme floods is described. The watershed chosen for the analysis is the catchment of the Limmernboden dam situated in Switzerland. Statistical methods and the simulation based "Probable Maximum Precipitat ...

Suite à décision du Conseil Fédéral de sortir du nucléaire, l’hydroélectricité suisse jouera un rôle central pour réussir la transition énergétique. Cependant, le changement climatique semble avoir un impact négatif sur la production hydraulique à long ter ...

Située à la confluence de deux cours d'eau – la Limmat et la Sihl – la ville de Zurich a toujours dû faire face aux crues. Suite aux crues de 2005, un projet de dérivation de la Sihl vers le lac de Zurich en amont de la ville a été lancé. En alternative à ...

Das Forschungsprogramm CRUEX, welches vor rund 25 Jahren initiert wurde und die Erarbeitung der erforderIichen theoretischen Grund lagen sowie einer allgemein gültigen Methode für die Abschätzung extremer Hochwasser in Hinsicht auf Talsperrensicherheit zum ...
