Panel Event - Australian Rainfall and Runoff - To the Extreme!

Explore a comprehensive panel discussion addressing the implications of extreme rainfall and runoff events in Australia during February and March 2022. Delve into topics such as flood modelling, management, and mitigation practices with industry experts. Examine IFD data sources, flood severity, climate change effects, spatially varying precipitation modelling, and historical patterns. Investigate flood terminology, risk and uncertainty analyses, consequence assessments, and resilience strategies. Compare 2022 events to predictive models, discuss ARR updates, and evaluate the effectiveness of nature-based solutions. Gain insights into successful flood response measures and access additional resources for further learning in hydrology and hydraulics.
