Recent climate change updates to Australian Rainfall and Runoff (ARR) have fundamentally altered how Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP) is estimated - directly impacting the design of dams, spillways, and other critical infrastructure. Understanding these changes is essential for engineers, planners, and modellers involved in extreme event hydrology.

This course provides practical guidance and real-world case studies that step through the development of Australian PMP estimates using the latest ARR climate change recommendations. You’ll gain insights into the revised
- Generalised Tropical Storm Method (GTSMR),
- Generalised Southeast Australia Method (GSAM), and
- Generalised Short-Duration Method (GSDM).

This course provides an opportunity to stay ahead of critical updates in PMP estimation and climate resilience; and gain insights needed to adapt to Australia’s evolving hydrological challenges. Full course details are on our website: https://awschool.com.au/training/pmp-climate-change/
