Decreasing uncertainty in flood frequency analyses by including historic flood events in an efficient bootstrap approach
<p>Flood frequency curves are usually highly uncertain since they are based on short data sets of measured discharges or weather conditions. To decrease the confidence intervals, an efficient bootstrap method is developed in this study. The Rhine river delta is considered as a case study. We u...
