PDH’s: This webinar is eligible for 2 PDH credits
This webinar will provide training on the use of the PMP to generate the PMF, including a walk-through of the rapidly evolving Army Corps’ HEC-HMS and HEC-RAS modeling processes to transform the rain into the runoff. The methodology was updated in 2023-2024 based on major software improvements and is cutting-edge. The webinar will include both theory and case study examples. This is Part II of a series by Mr. Bill Kappel, related to the development of Probable Maximum Precipitation and its application for dam safety. Title: "
Probable Maximum Precipitation, what is it, how is it calculated, and how do I apply it?"
Key Takeaways:
• Understand how the PMP is calculated and converted to PMF.
• Understand how the PMF may be calibrated and validated.
• Understand the areas of uncertainty in the PMF development process and how those affect design decisions and dam safety when using the latest versions of HEC-HMS and HEC-RAS.
• Understand the application of PMF outputs to dam design or dam improvements.
• Learn how climate change affects PMF estimates.
