Description succincte (Anglais)

Flood estimates are critically important for a wide range of applications, including hazard mapping, hydraulic engineering and safety assessments of critical infrastructure. They are essential for preventing human and economic damage and for designing safe and cost-effective hydraulic structures. However, several challenges complicate flood estimation, primarily due to the comparatively short length of discharge observations at a site of interest or, in many cases, the complete absence of discharge data for direct extrapolation.
