Abstract
The authors have presented the equi-risk line theory for storage facilities with the constant release rule. It is extended to be applicable to those with the following general storage-release relation: g = az′p, where g is the release discharge, and Z’ the volume of stored water. The release rule is characterized by the value of p. The shape parameter of the equi-risk line is expressed in terms of p. A standard equi-risk line for urban flood control systems is proposed, which can be applicable in common within a basin to calculate the necessary and sufficient capacities of any kind of flood control facilities, regardless of their location.
