Inflow design flood (IDF)
The flood used to design and/or modify a specific dam and its appurtenant works; particularly for sizing the spillway and outlet works, and for determining surcharge storage and height of dam requirements. The flood used for design of a safe structure. It may be the probable maximum flood (PMF), but in sparsely developed areas where judgement indicates minimal property damage and no probable loss of life, the IDF may be less than the PMF.
