Rainfall intensity or depth estimates are vital input for hydrologic and hydraulic models used in designing drainage infrastructures. Unfortunately, these estimates are susceptible to different sources of uncertainties including climate change, which could have high implications on the cost and design of hydraulic structures. This study adopts a systematic literature review to ascertain the disregard of credibility assessment of rainfall estimates in Nigeria. Thereafter, a simple framework for informing the practice of reliability check of rainfall estimates was proposed using freely available open-source tools and applied to the north central region of Nigeria. The study revealed through a synthesis matrix that in the last decade, both empirical and theoretical methods have been applied in predicting design rainfall intensities or depths for different frequencies across Nigeria, but none of the selected studies assessed the credibility of the design estimates. This study has established through the application of the proposed framework that drainage infrastructure designed in the study area using 100–1000-year return periods are more susceptible to error. And that the extent of the credibility of quantitative estimates of extreme rains leading to flooding is not equal for each variability indicator across a large spatial region. Hence, to optimize informed decision-making regarding flood risk reduction by risk assessor, variability and uncertainty of rainfall estimates should be assessed spatially to minimize erroneous deductions.

排水基础设施设计降雨估算的可信度:尼日利亚的无视程度和拟议的实践框架

降雨强度或深度估计是用于设计排水基础设施的水文和水力模型的重要输入。不幸的是,这些估计容易受到包括气候变化在内的不同不确定性来源的影响,这可能对水工结构的成本和设计产生重大影响。本研究采用系统的文献综述来确定尼日利亚对降雨估计的可信度评估的忽视。此后,使用免费提供的开源工具提出了一个用于通知降雨估计可靠性检查实践的简单框架,并应用于尼日利亚中北部地区。该研究通过综合矩阵显示,在过去十年中,经验和理论方法都已应用于预测尼日利亚不同频率的设计降雨强度或深度,但所选研究均未评估设计估计的可信度。本研究通过应用建议的框架确立了在研究区使用 100-1000 年重现期设计的排水基础设施更容易出错。并且,对于大空间区域中的每个可变性指标,导致洪水的极端降雨的定量估计的可信度并不相等。因此,为了优化风险评估员关于减少洪水风险的知情决策,应在空间上评估降雨量估计的可变性和不确定性,以最大程度地减少错误推断。但没有一项选定的研究评估了设计估计的可信度。本研究通过应用建议的框架确立了在研究区使用 100-1000 年重现期设计的排水基础设施更容易出错。并且,对于大空间区域中的每个可变性指标,导致洪水的极端降雨的定量估计的可信度并不相等。因此,为了优化风险评估员关于减少洪水风险的知情决策,应在空间上评估降雨量估计的可变性和不确定性,以最大程度地减少错误推断。但没有一项选定的研究评估了设计估计的可信度。本研究通过应用建议的框架确立了在研究区使用 100-1000 年重现期设计的排水基础设施更容易出错。并且,对于大空间区域中的每个可变性指标,导致洪水的极端降雨的定量估计的可信度并不相等。因此,为了优化风险评估员关于减少洪水风险的知情决策,应在空间上评估降雨量估计的可变性和不确定性,以最大程度地减少错误推断。本研究通过应用建议的框架确立了在研究区使用 100-1000 年重现期设计的排水基础设施更容易出错。并且,对于大空间区域中的每个可变性指标,导致洪水的极端降雨的定量估计的可信度并不相等。因此,为了优化风险评估员关于减少洪水风险的知情决策,应在空间上评估降雨量估计的可变性和不确定性,以最大程度地减少错误推断。本研究通过应用建议的框架确立了在研究区使用 100-1000 年重现期设计的排水基础设施更容易出错。并且,对于大空间区域中的每个可变性指标,导致洪水的极端降雨的定量估计的可信度并不相等。因此,为了优化风险评估员关于减少洪水风险的知情决策,应在空间上评估降雨量估计的可变性和不确定性,以最大程度地减少错误推断。
