Multi-scenario risk assessment: an eighteen-hydrograph framework for dam spillway safety using copulas and integrating climate change

ABSTRACT This study proposes a procedure for dam spillway safety verification based on a set of design hydrographs and using advancements in statistical hydrology published in the last years. The approach uses the following steps: (1) using copulas to model the dependence between peak flow and flood volume; (2) selecti...
