Return period analysis of extreme rainfall events
MAUSAM, 1984 The return periods analysis of extreme events of rainfall for selected 15 stations of Krishna river basin have been studied and presented in this paper. The annual one-day rainfall data for 60-years (1901-60) was used for the study. The rainfall estimates were computed for different return periods using tow different distribution and Fisher & ...
