Flood frequency estimates can be improved by combining local flood data with three additional types of information, Viglione et al . show. The authors combined local flood data with temporal information on historic floods, spatial information on floods in nearby catchments, and causal information on the flood process. Previous studies combined flood data with only one additional type of information.
