This collection contains seven peer-reviewed papers on engineering design for precipitation extremes. Topics include engineering methods for designing for and managing precipitation extremes and floods throughout the life cycle of a building, approaches to uncertainty and how acceptable risk is determined, and interactions with climate scientists on engineering needs for climate information and projections. Also included is a report on the discussions held during the workshop and the conclusions and recommendations that were drawn. This report provides information to practitioners and researchers working to ensure functional infrastructure while adapting to extreme precipitation changes.
