Flood Frequency Analysis for Sicily, Italy
Journal of Hydrologic Engineering, 2006In this paper a regional flood frequency analysis based on the two-component extreme value TCEV distribution is developed using flood data recorded in Sicily. The hierarchical approach, characterized by three investigation levels for estimating the parameters of the theoretical distribution, is discussed first.

The concept of a robust model is briefly explored. In the context of flood frequency analysis, two necessary properties of a robust model are advanced, namely, resistance and efficiency. Strategies for seeking more robust models are discussed. Because of its versatility, the five‐parameter Wakeby distribution can credibly be considered a parent flood ...

Multifractal flood frequency analysis
2007Hydrology and more generally sciences involved in water resources management, researches and technological or operational development face a fundamental difficulty: the extreme variability of hydrological fields. It clearly appears today that this variability is a function of the observation scale and yield natural hazards such as floods or droughts ...

Flood Frequency Analysis for the 1988 Truro Floods
Water and Environment Journal, 1990ABSTRACTIn January 1988 the city of Truro experienced a severe flood from the River Kenwyn. The return period of this event was initially estimated at 350 years using the methodology recommended in the Flood Studies Report1. In October of the same year a second flood, of even greater magnitude, occurred. The subsequent investigations employed a variety

The weight of the flood‐of‐record in flood frequency analysis
Journal of Flood Risk Management, 2018The standard approach to flood frequency analysis (FFA) fits mathematical functions to sequences of historic flood data and extrapolates the tails of the distribution to estimate the magnitude and likelihood of extreme floods.

The probability mass function of peak streamflow from a given catchment is derived from the density functions for climatic and catchment variables by using the functional relationships provided by the kinematic wave method of hydrograph forecasting. The exceedance probability for a flood peak of given magnitude is then related to the annual exceedance ...

Recently, H. C. Riggs has described the basis for design-flood frequency curves which are expansions of ordinary flood frequency curve data. The procedure is simple but time consuming. To speed up the process, two simplified techniques are presented herein: (1) the base-curve method; and (2) the point-offset method.

Practical flood frequency estimates
Geophysical Surveys, 1977The best information on which to base estimates of future flood frequencies is records of past flood events. Where there is a substantial record at the location for which estimates are desired the estimation process is generally straighforward, although a variety of methods is used and there is major uncertainty in the estimates.
