Floods are among the most severe natural hazard phenomena that affect people around world. Due to this fact, identification of zones highly susceptible floods became a very important activity in researcher’s work. In context, present research work aimed propose following 3 novel ensembles estimate flood susceptibility Putna river basin from Romania: UltraBoost-Weights Evidence (U-WOE), Stochast...

Flood frequency analysis using partial series data has been shown to provide better estimates of small to medium magnitude flood events than the annual series, but the annual series is more often employed due to its simplicity. Where partial series average recurrence intervals are required, annual series values are often “converted” to partial series values using the Langbein equation, regardle...

The linear form of the Muskingum model has been widely applied to river flood routing. However, a nonlinear relationship between weighted-flow and storage volume exists in most rivers, making the use of the linear Muskingum model inappropriate. On the other hand, the application of the nonlinear Muskingum model suffers from hydrologic parameters estimation. The current study aims at presenting ...

Estimation of Peak Flood Discharge (PFD) at a desired location on a river is important for planning, design and management of hydraulic structures. This can be achieved through Flood Frequency Analysis (FFA) by fitting of probability distributions to the series of annual maximum discharge data. In the present study, Exponential, Extreme Value Type-1, Extreme Value Type-2, Generalized Pareto and...

Understanding the hydro-meteorological processes that control flash flooding is extremely important from both scientific and societal perspectives. On the one hand, flash floods rank highly among natural disasters in terms of the number of people affected and the number of fatalities. The potential for flash flood casualties and damage is increasing in many parts of the world due to the social ...

Runoff estimation resulted from precipitation is the basis of more study in various develop and exploit design from water resource, then its measure and calculation due to environmental bottlenecks, always have a plenty problem. As a result of the importance of output runoff estimation and flood volume in watershed for the sake of country integrated watershed management in this study tried to 9...

Estimation of the magnitude and frequency of maximum instantaneous discharges and hydrographs are used for a variety of purposes, such as the design of bridges, culverts, flood-control structures; and the management and regulation of floodplains. Fuller (1914), developed a flood-frequency formula based on analysis of flood peaks in hundred of streams to provide simple methods of estimating maxi...
