Abstract

Procedures to be included in a chapter on the estimation of very large and extreme floods in the revised 'Australian Rainfall and Runoff' are described in three companion papers. The background and general procedures are outlined in this paper, together with the extrapolation of design rainfalls. Recommended procedures for estimating probable maximum precipitation and probable maximum floods are described, and values of design parameters are discussed. The procedures complement the recommendations of the Australian Committee for Large Dams for spillway design and of the National Association of Australian State Road Authorities for bridge design.
