Prepare to elevate your expertise in flood frequency analysis (FFA) in this essential hands-on webinar, designed specifically for water professionals who need to incorporate the latest tools and guidelines into their models and assessments.

Using the newly released USACE BestFit 2.0, this exclusive session dives deeper into FFA by guiding participants through real-world data applications with advanced tools. Building on foundational webinars, you'll explore BestFit side-by-side with FLIKE to develop FFA results using updated techniques.

With hands-on guidance using real data sets, this advanced training session will equip participants to undertake FFA following ARR guidance and provide the foundation for analysis that will be required in the future.

Key Features:

Step-by-Step Case Studies: Follow along as we incorporate extreme events into FFAs using real-world case studies, demonstrating the effects on predicted discharge rates. Apply climate change factors to your FFA using best practices for interpreting non-stationary results that comply with the latest ARR guidelines.
Enhanced Compatibility: Discover the latest BestFit 2.0 functionalities, now fully compatible with FLIKE, offering tailored capabilities for Australian practitioners.
Extreme Event Estimation: Master the process of extracting peak flow estimates for extreme events and incorporating climate change impacts directly into assessments.

Combining expert guidance, live demonstrations, and interactive exercises, this session is essential for any professional required to apply climate change to FFAs and flood modelling. Although this webinar applies Australian climate change factors as an example, the demonstrated principles are applicable to all worldwide water practitioners.
