A summary of the results of regional flood frequency analyses that have been carried out in many tropical and sub-tropical countries is presented. The results provide a set of flood estimation methods which should be of immediate usefulness in practical applications, bearing in mind the errors of generalization. By defining the representative values of the mean annual flood and of the flood fre...

Abstract Flood frequency estimation forms the basis for engineering design of hydraulic structures, including bridges and culverts, local regional development planning, flood insurance. In United States, Water Resources Council recommends using Log-Pearson Type III (LP3) distribution as a standard use with annual peak flow data. However, researchers have argued more than one streamflow value in...

The computation of flood magnitude and its likely occurrence to design different hydraulic structures are major challenges the research community. present study has been carried out identify homogeneous regions in Mahanadi basin Chhattisgarh part (data from 26 gauge/discharge sites) India using conventional clustering-based homogeneity tests then identification probability-weighted moment L-mom...
