摘要

In many jurisdictions, the use of the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) is mandated as the upperrnlimit extreme event for assessing the safety of a dam that could present an unacceptably highrnrisk to the public or the environment. It is assumed that this deterministically derived flood eventrnis superior to extreme floods determined using probabilistic approaches. Indeed, the literaturernhas shown that extrapolating flood events more than two to four times the historical record willrnlead to inaccuracies.rnHowever, this does not necessarily mean that the PMF is an inherently more accurate methodrnof establishing an extreme event. The theoretical relationship between the PMF and the 10,000rnyear flood was explored in an attempt to establish the validity of probabilistic assessments forrndefining extreme events, particularly in reference to the use of these events in dam safety riskrnassessments. The establishment of a theoretical relationship between the two extreme eventsrnalso serves as a tool to check the reasonability of extreme event estimates. This later functionrnmay be of significant economic benefit for some dam owners to avoid either dangerously underrndesigning or wastefully over designing spillway capacity.rnThis paper presents a method to analyze the ratio of PMF to the 10,000 year flood based onrnwidely accepted practices used in Canada and the USA. Using accepted meteorological andrnhydrological principles, a theoretical relationship between the two extreme flood estimates wasrnestablished. The establishment of this theoretical relationship has several important implicationsrn1. The estimated 10,000 year event is at least as reliable as the PMF given that there is a clearrntheoretical relationship between the two methods of extreme event estimation. This hasrnsignificant implications with respect to dam safety risk analyses and, in some jurisdictions,rnthe selection process for defining the Inflow Design Flood (IDF)rn2. In establishing a PMF estimate, it is now possible to undertake a check on thernreasonableness of the results of the assessment. For example, if the ratio between the PMFrnand the 10,000 year flood falls outside of the range reported in this paper, a more detailedrninvestigation should be performedrn3. The results indicate that the use of a percentage of the PMF for selection of the IDF, in thernmisguided assumption that the PMF is a more accurate estimation of an extreme event,rnresults in a variable and unquantifiable standard of protection for the public.rn4. In some cases, the costs associated with undertaking a full PMF assessment many bernavoided simply by using a factored 10,000 year estimate as a reasonable approximation ofrnthe PMF.
