It describes the first phase of a project that aims to assess the suitability of methods for estimating probable maximum precipitation (PMP and probable maximum flood (PMF) - and develop new methods to improve the safety of the highest risk reservoirs. Phase 1 reviews options for alternative approaches to estimating PMP and PMF and recommends a way forward for future research developments.
