within river basins, and justifiably or
not, they generally have considered natural
change and variability to be sufficiently
small to allow stationarity-based
design.
In view of the magnitude and ubiquity of
the hydroclimatic change apparently now
under way, however, we assert that stationarity
is dead and should no longer serve as a central,
default assumption in water-resource risk
assessment
