  A number of future climate projections indicate a likelihood of increased magnitude and frequency of hydrological extremes for many regions around the world. The urban storm-water management infrastructures are designed to mitigate the effect of extreme hydrological events. Changes in extreme rainfall events will have a significant implication on the design of storm-water management infrastructures. This study assessed the potential impact of changed rainfall extreme on drainage systems in the West Central Mountain drainage area located in Southern Ontario, Canada. First, the design storms for the study area were calculated from observed rainfall data and the North American Regional Climate Change Assessment Program (NARCCAP) climate simulations based on SRES A2 Scenario. Frequency analysis was performed on the annual maximum time series data by using the best fitted distribution amon.. Read More»
