The Bureau of Reclamation is now making extensive use of quantitative risk assessment in support of dam safety decision making. This report proposes a practical, robust, consistent, and credible framework for characterizing extreme floods for dam safety risk assessment. A group of approximately 20 professionals from the United States, Europe, Australia, and Canada reviewed current Reclamation practices and evaluated various advances in hydrology and hydro meteorology for their potential role in the needed framework. A smaller crop group developed details of the framework and formulated recommendations to Reclamation. |
