There are very low chances for a flood of more magnitude than that of 1990 to occur. The probability of occurrence of the 1990 flood was 0.06. This indicates that probability of occurrence of the flood in the year was substantially low. 6/100 is a substantially low frequency. This means that, probability of occurrence of a greater flooding than this is insignificantly low because it is less than six percent, hence, it is negligible. A flood of a greater magnitude than that of 1990 is unexpected; this is an important point to consider in determining what prevention measures are worth implementing in the ...
