The main focus of the present study is to compare the use of Partial Duration Series (PDS) and the Annual Maximum Series (AMS) in extreme rainfall frequency analysis. The Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) and Generalized Pareto (GP) distributions are used to fit AMS and PDS, respectively. At this aim, the 1-minute rainfall data series collected...

In an existing urban environment, retrofitting low impact development (LID) solutions can provide an opportunity to address flooding and water quality problems. Taking into account the need to effectively estimate the impact of vegetated LIDs, particular attention has recently been given on the evapotranspiration (ET) process that is...
