Abstract:Highlights: Water resource management, particularly for critical infrastructure, can be improved using a mixed methods approach to provide knowledge of the upper limit of flooding. Paleoflood data can be verified and constrained using household survey data and channel crosssections to improve peak streamflow estimates in in ungauged catchments in data-limited regions. Detailed survey data that incorporates local knowledge to bridge gaps in traditional hydrometeorological and modeling methods helps disting… Show more
