en un texto que habla sobre un Waste Rock Storage Facility aparece lo siguiente:
The rockdrain of the primary collector Type C was designed to discharge the entire design flow (no flow in the pipes). The HDPE pipes were added to enhance the discharge capacity at the outlet of the underdrain system. The Type C section was verified for the 100-year wettest month event (drain time 4 days) and the HDPE pipes were designed to convey the extra flow collected during this event.
estara bien: mes más húmedo en 100 años
gracias por su ayuda

: Técnicamente correcto. Son eventos que se esperan cada 100 años, pero pueden ocurrir en dos años seguidos.

Return period (wikipedia)
A return period also known as a recurrence interval is an estimate of the likelihood of an event, such as an earthquake, flood or a river discharge flow to occur. It is a statistical measurement typically based on historic data denoting the average recurrence interval over an extended period of time, and is usually used for risk analysis (e.g. to decide whether a project should be allowed to go forward in a zone of a certain risk, or to design structures to withstand an event with a certain return period.
