This lecture, presented by Mauro Fiorentino at the Grand Combin Summer School in Italy, delves into the challenges and solutions in hydrologic modeling of extreme floods. Key issues discussed include the limitations of pure statistical methods, the scarcity of observations for extreme events, flood risk assessment in ungauged basins, and handling uncertainties in regional hydrology. The session emphasizes the need for improved parameter estimation techniques and presents theoretical models for flood frequency distributions, aiming to enhance flood prediction accuracy and risk management.

  1. Lectures on Hydrologic Modelling of Extreme Floods Mauro Fiorentino Grand Combin Summer School on Physics and Predictability of Rainfall and Floods" Saint-Oyen (Valle d’Asta, Italy) June 26 – July 5 2002

  2. Problems related to the use of pure statistical methods • Lack of observations of extreme events (crucial for the estimation of high return periods) • flood risk evaluation in ungauged basins • uncertainty in the individuation of homogeneous regions

  3. Estimation schemes Parameter estimation technique at site or regional Stochastic Model • Hydrometricinformation • Pluviometric Information • Phisical Information (base processes) • Geology • Climate • Vegetation

  4. Estimation schemes Parameter estimation technique at site or regional Stochastic Model • Hydrometricinformation • Pluviometric Information • Phisical Information (base processes) • Geology • Climate • Vegetation How to improve it?

  5. Estimation schemes Parameter estimation technique at site or regional Stochastic Model • Hydrometricinformation • Pluviometric Information • Geology • Climate • Vegetation • Base processes information

  6. One possible solution: Theoretical models for derivation of flood frequency distribution

  7. Two random variables:: a = variable contributing area Q = ua a • The variable contributing area • the peak runoff per unit contributing area t (a) = the lag time of the area a f = hydrologic loss rate fa =loss rate significant to peak i = rainfall intensity f i p(a) p(ua ) ia,t a ua The routing model: fa ua = x( ia,t - fa ) time x = routing coefficient t = t (a)= t1 ag= critical duration t (a) Summarizing

  10. Non linearity causes For rainfall intensity below a certain threshold the prevailing runoff generation mechanism is of Dunne’s type For rainfall intensity above that threshold the prevailing runoff generation mechanism is of Horton’s type
