Dam Safety: Probable Maximum Flood
Uncontrolled flood waters are one of the most powerful and destructive forces in nature. Dams that are not designed to withstand major storms may be destroyed by them, increasing flood damage downstream. This damage is too often catastrophic. In order to protect lives and property downstream, the Ohio Administrative Code requires that dams be constructed to safely handle an appropriate percentage of the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF). This percentage varies according to the height of the dam, size of the impoundment, and extent and severity of damage possible upon failure. The requirements established in Ohio are similar to those used in other states, and historical records of significant storms and dam failures this century verify that the design criteria are reasonable.

Olası en büyük taşkın
As PMF is a hydrology/hydraulics term used in flood analysis, “taşkın” is a more appropriate translation than “akış”. In my opinion, “feyezan” must totally be out of discussion as it is rather outdated.
It is also customary to describe “taşkın” with “büyük” instead of “yüksek”.
Within the hydrology/hydraulics context, “su” in “su taşkını” is redundant.
“Olası en büyük taşkın” is not only a more correct translation, but is also widely used in engineering.
