The need to update the Intensity-Duration-Frequency curve functions

Keywords: intensity, duration, frequency, climate change, infrastructure, risk

Abstract

There is a growing necessity to update Intensity Duration Frequency (IDF) curves in water management and infrastructure planning. This is especially critical for analyzing the impacts of climate change, particularly extreme weather events. Several studies show that precipitation characteristics are highly variable in space and time. IDF curves (which can be used to characterise the intensity, temporal distribution and frequency of precipitation) play an important role in, among other things, the design of w ater infrastructure systems, the analysis of urban flood risk and, not least, are useful for successful disaster preparedness. Updating the curves is not only a scientific necessity but a practical requirement that will help improve design standards, assis t practitioners in assessing the resilience of existing infrastructure systems, and contribute to developing sustainable urban flood management solutions.
