The Return Period of a Reservoir System Failure
Abstract It has become standard practice in the design of hydraulic structures to employ the average return period of a flood as the design event. An analogous index is introduced for the design of a water supply system: the average return period of a reservoir system failure, defined as the expected number of years until the occurrence of the first reservoir system failure. Other indices of the reliability of a water supply system are introduced. The use of these reliability indices is discussed in the context of a water supply reservoir design application.
