Design flood hydrograph (DFH) for a dam is the flood of suitable probability and magnitude adopted to ensure safety of the dam in accordance with appropriate design standards. Estimated quantiles of peak discharge and flood volumes are necessary for deriving the DFH, which are mutually correlated and need to be described by multivariate analysis methods. The joint probability distributions of peak discharge and flood volumes were established using copula functions. Then the general formulae of conditional most likely composition (CMLC) and conditional expectation composition (CEC) methods that consider the inherent relationship between flood peak and volumes were derived for estimating DFH. The Danjiangkou reservoir in Hanjiang basin was selected as a case study. The design values of flood volumes and 90% confidence intervals with different peak discharges were estimated by the proposed methods. The performance of CMLC and CEC methods was also compared with conventional flood frequency analysis, and the results show that CMLC method performs best for both bivariate and trivariate distributions which has the smallest relative error and root mean square error. The proposed CMLC method has strong statistical basis with unique design flood composition scheme and provides an alternative way for deriving DFH.

The important flooding drainage phenomenon of the urban regions includes of ground water exchange, sewer water exchange and ground-sewer water exchange. Due to the spread of urban regions development with high economics activities, the distributions and specifications of ditch in urban regions are irregular and un-uniform, equivalent Manhole would be used instead of ditch water exchange and its mechanism to fill ground water and sewer water exchange mode evaluated for urban flooding mode in this study. Sewer’s catchment of Ming-Seng S. Rd 608 Street in Chiayi City as case study applied by SWMM model showing urban flooding phenomenon and the effective drainage mechanism during rainfall similar Typhoon Morakot, thus, providing reliable information and references for engineers.

Dam break studies consist of two submodels: (a) the dam breach submodel which derives the flood hydrograph and (b) the hydrodynamic submodel which, using the flood hydrograph, derives the flood peaks and maximum water depths in the downstream reaches of the river. In this paper, a thorough investigation of the uncertainty observed in the output of the hydrodynamic model, due to the seven dam breach parameters, is performed in a real-world case study (Papadiana Dam, located at Tavronitis River in Crete, Greece). Three levels of uncertainty are examined (flow peak of the flood hydrograph at the dam location, flow peaks and maximum water depths downstream along the river) with two methods: (a) a Morris-based sensitivity analysis for investigating the influence of each parameter on the final results; (b) a Monte Carlo-based forward uncertainty analysis for defining the distribution of uncertainty band and its statistical characteristics. Among others, it is found that uncertainty of the flow peaks is greater than the uncertainty of the maximum water depths, whereas there is a decreasing trend of uncertainty as we move downstream along the river.
