Environment Agency contract for Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP) and Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) estimation

Description

This commission will support the Environment Agency's work on reservoir safety to update methods for estimating Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP) and Probable Maximum Flood (PMF). The project is being managed and funded by the Joint Environment Agency/Defra Flood and Coastal Risk Management R&D Programme. The overall objective of the project is to assess the suitability of the existing methods for estimating PMP and PMF, and develop new methods and guidelines to ensure that our highest risk reservoirs are resilient to extreme flood events.
