Abstract
This chapter describes a new methodology for forecasting ice-jam flooding. Detailed steps of the development of the methodology is provided first followed by spreadsheet exercises, which are continuations of the spreadsheet exercises from previous chapters. The exercises serve to reinforce the concepts underlying the forecasting approach by presenting simplified components of the method in a piecewise manner to progressively build understanding of the method. These exercises can also be a basis for the reader’s own ice-jam flood forecasting case studies. Modelling exercises conclude the chapter which build on the previous chapter’s modelling exercise and provide additional practise in the use of the RIVICE model, embedded now in the stochastic modelling framework.
