Floods constitute a persistent and serious problem throughout the
United States and many other parts of the world. They are
responsible for losses amounting to billions of dollars and scores
of deaths annually. Virtually all parts of the nation--coastal,
moun tainous and rural--are affected by them. Two aspects of the
problem of flooding that have long been topics of scientific
inquiry are flood frequency and risk analyses. Many new, even
improved, tech niques have recently been developed for performing
these analyses. Nevertheless, actual experience points out that the
frequency of say a 100-year flood, in lieu of being encountered on
the average once in one hundred years, may be as little as once in
25 years. It is therefore appropriate to pause and ask where we
are, where we are going and where we ought to be going with regard
to the technology of flood frequency and risk analyses. One way to
address these ques tions is to provide a forum where people from
all quarters of the world can assemble, discuss and share their
experience and expertise pertaining to flood frequency and risk
analyses. This is what con stituted the motivation for organizing
the International Symposium on Flood Frequency and Risk Analyses
held May 14-17, 1986, at Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge,
Louisiana."
