Hydrologic Hazard Curve Estimating Procedures

R. E. Swain / J. F. England / K. L. Bullard / D. A. Raff

The object of this project is to establish a prescriptive procedure for generating hydrologic hazard curves for use in dam safety evaluation. These curves can then be used for risk analysis and prioritization of further work at Bureau of Reclamation (dams) and other U.S. Department of the Interior facilities. Hydrologic hazard curves are defined as graphs of peak flow and volume (for specified durations) versus Annual Exceedance Probability (AEP). This report recommends that the approach for developing hydrologic hazard curves consider the dam safety decision criteria, potential dam failure mode and dam characteristics, available hydrologic data, possible analysis techniques, resources available for analysis and tolerable level of uncertainty.
