Exploring the impact of rainfall temporal distribution and critical durations on flood hazard modeling
Published in Natural Hazards, 2025
This paper investigated how rainfall temporal distribution and critical duration affect flood-hazard modeling. It showed that design storms with similar totals can produce different hazards depending on timing, which matters for both model setup and drainage design.
