Short summary
Reliable flood estimates are vital for effective flood risk management, yet short observation records often limit accuracy. We present a new approach that adds realistic "what if" flood scenarios from nearby similar catchments. Applied to thousands of small German basins, our method improves flood frequency estimates, reducing uncertainty and supporting more robust planning for extreme events.
