A major justification for building the Three Gorges Dam on Changjiang is flood control. The dam can reduce peak discharge during severe floods. These floods, however, cannot be prevented by operation of alone. During most floods abnormally high rainfall occurs throughout basin. only affect from upper Large tributaries middle are unaffected dam. cumulative impact large increase severity with dis...

Introduction: A design flood is a hypothetical used for the of reservoirs and other hydrologic engineering infrastructures. Among many hydrological properties flood, volume peak can significantly affect safety reservoir operation. However, uncertainty has rarely been considered in risk analysis operation regarding floodwater utilization. Methods: In this paper, general framework that integrates...
