Statistical Flood Frequency Analysis — An Overview

  • Conference paper
Hydrologic Frequency Modeling

Abstract

The paper critically examines various issues involved in statistical frequency analysis. Emphasis has been laid on areas where further research is required. It is highlighted that the Water Resources Council modified report of 1981 has largely reiterated their earlier findings thereby ignoring criticism labelled by various researchers on their recommendations. In the light of recent studies, it is advocated that WRC, U.S.A recommendations need reevaluation.
