Flood design recipes vs. reality: can predictions for ungauged basins be trusted?

Despite the great scientific and technological advances in flood hydrology, everyday engineering practices still follow simplistic approaches that are easy to formally implement in ungauged areas. In general, these "recipes" have been developed many decades ago, based on field data from ty...
