Design Flood Estimation Methods for Cascade Reservoirs Based on Copulas

Reservoirs operation alters the natural flow regime at downstream site and thus has a great impact on the design flood values. The general framework of flood regional composition and Equivalent Frequency Regional Composition (EFRC) method are currently used to calculate design floods at downstream s...
