- Title
Understanding Future Safety of Dams in a Changing Climate.

- Abstract
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) suggests several methods for PMP estimation: statistical method, generalized method, transposition method, and moisture maximization method. Though most of the large infrastructure design standards require 3-day PMP estimation, this modeling framework can be applied to PMPs of other durations, with examples of 1-day and 2-day PMPs shown in the supplemental Fig. In this way, we can obtain a physics-based PMP estimate at this dam site under the projected climate and it will provide better safety design of this planned dam. 29 Rouhani, H., and R.
