The analysis of flood damage time series / Pierre Ouellette, Nassir El-Jabi and Jean Rousselle.: En36-502/146E-PDF
"Effective flood plain management requires estimation of the costs and benefits of all contemplated projects. In this study the focus is on estimating the benefits of such schemes. Starting from the similarity between flood flow and flood damage time series, the authors take a probabilistic approach to flood damage estimation. They first develop a hydroeconomic model to assess flood related damages and then derive a damage distribution function by applying the theory of extreme values and the sum of the random number of random variables to the estimated damage series"--Abstract, p. v.
