U.S. Hydrologic Design Standards Insufficient Due to Large Increases in Frequency of Rainfall Extremes

Abstract Evidence for intensifying rainfall extremes has not translated into “actionable” information needed by engineers and risk analysts, who are often concerned with very rare events such as “100‐year storms.” Low signal‐to‐noise associated with such events makes trend detection nearly impossibl...
