Development of Hydrological Criteria for the Hydraulic Design of Stormwater Pumping Stations

[EN] For the design of stormwater pumping stations, there is often uncertainty regarding the selection of an appropriate rainfall event to determine the required pumping capacity and temporary storage volume for managing extreme events of a given magnitude. To account for the risk of system failure,...
