Hydrologic extremes • Extreme events – Floods – Droughts • Magnitude of extreme events is related to their frequency of occurrence • The objective of frequency analysis is to relate the magnitude of events to their frequency of occurrence through probability distribution • It is assumed the events (data) are independent and come from identical distribution 2
Hydrologic design • Water control – Peak flows, erosion, pollution, etc. • Water management – Domestic and industrial use, irrigation, instream flows, etc • Tasks – Determine design inflow – Route the design inflow – Find the output • check if it is sufficient to meet the demands (for management) • Check if the outflow is at safe level (for control) 3
Hydrologic design scale • Hydrologic design scale – range in magnitude of the design variable within which a value must be selected • Design considerations – Safety – Cost • Do not design small structures for large peak values (not cost effective) • Do not design large structures for small peak values (unsafe) • Balance between safety and cost. 4
Estimated Limiting Value (ELV) • Lower limit on design value – 0 • Upper limit on design value – ELV • ELV – largest magnitude possible for a hydrologic event at a given location, based on the best available hydrologic information. – Length of record – Reliability of information – Accuracy of analysis • Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP) / Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) 5

Hydrologic design level • Hydrologic design level – magnitude of the hydrologic event to be considered for the design or a structure or project. • Three approaches for determining design level – Empirical/probabilistic – Risk analysis – Hydroeconomic analysis 8
Empirical/Probabilitic • P(most extreme event of last N years will be exceeded once in next n years) • P(largest flood of last N years will be exceeded in n=N years) = 0. 5 • Drought lasting m years is worst in N year record. What is the probability that a worse drought will occur in next n years? – # sequences of length m in N years = N-m+1 – # sequences of length m in n years = n-m+1 9
Example 13. 2. 1 • If the critical drought of the record, as determined from 40 yrs of data, lasted 5 yrs, what is the chance that a more severe drought will occur during the next 20 yrs? • Solution: N = 40, m = 5 and n = 20 10
Risk Analysis • Uncertainty in hydrology – Inherent - stochastic nature of hydrologic phenomena – Model – approximations in equations – Parameter – estimation of coefficients in equations • Consideration of Risk – Structure may fail if event exceeds T–year design magnitude – R = P(event occurs at least once in n years) • Natural inherent risk of failure 11
Example 13. 2. 2 • Expected life of culvert = 10 yrs • Acceptable risk of 10 % for the culvert capacity • Find the design return period n What is the chance that the culvert designed for an event of 95 yr return period will not have its capacity exceeded for 50 yrs? The risk associated with failure of culvert when the flow exceed 95 yr flood in the next 95 years is: The chance that the capacity will not be exceeded during the next 50 yrs is 10. 41 = 0. 59 12
Hydroeconomic Analysis • Probability distribution of hydrologic event and damage associated with its occurrence are known • As the design period increases, capital cost increases, but the cost associated with expected damages decreases. • In hydroeconomic analysis, find return period that has minimum total (capital + damage) cost. 13

Stage-Damage Curves • Each structure is treated individually • Stage-damage curve with uncertainty is produced for each damage category for each reach • Added together to give the total stage-damage curve for the reach(? )

Planning Team • Three key people: – Planner: formulates project alternatives, works with local sponsor – Hydraulic Engineer: determines discharge and stage data – Economist: estimates damage, costs, benefits and does the risk analysis
Planning Methodology • Identify potential project components (detention ponds, levees, …) – 22 initially proposed, 11 on Beargrass Creek, and 11 on Buechel Branch • Evaluate them all individually to see if net benefits are positive – 8 components on Buechel Branch eliminated • Combine components into plans, incrementally – 10 components in NED plan: 8 detention ponds, 1 floodwall, 1 channel improvement

Overall Assessment • The core methodology is solid and is an advance in engineering practice of flood risk assessment • Focus is completely on damage reaches considered as statistically independent entities • Whole project risk and 25%, 50%, 75% damage values cannot be built up this way • Can specification of standard deviations of analysis variables be improved?

Whole Project Risk Assessment • Take a flood of severity, p, and integrate the damage along the reach – Without any plan (o) – With a plan (w) – Benefit of plan is B = Do - Dw • Randomize the flood discharge and stage for the whole project rather than for each reach • Compute project-based damage values for each randomization and use them to get B 25, B 75 values
