An underlying concern among the participants is whether the historical record remains the correct basis for determining current flood risk estimation -- i.e., is stationarity ‘dead'? There was discussion on the efforts by the National Weather Service to update rainfall design curves and general discussion on how probable maximum precipitation estimates and flood frequency curves could be updated.

Overall, the participants' discussion provided insights to the workshop theme on flood research, and expanded the discussion to include general hydrologic issues that may lead to future workshops. Many participants appeared to leave the workshop not only stimulated by the event, but also eager to explore answers in the context of their own professional responsibilities.
