Flood frequency analysis supported by the largest historical flood [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2014 The use of non-systematic flood data for statistical purposes depends on the reliability of the assessment of both flood magnitudes and their return period. The earliest known extreme flood year is usually the beginning of the historical record.

Flood frequency analysis of the Đetinja river [PDF]
Glasnik Srpskog Geografskog Društva, 2010 Based on extreme water levels data, using the method of series, a forecast for protection of river has been accomplished, i.e. probable water level maximums of the Đetinja river at Šengolj were measured. High flows were analyzed with a probability from 0.

Characteristics of the floods in Pechea village, Galați county [PDF]
Riscuri şi Catastrofe, 2021 This study aims to develop risk analysis methodologies on floods, analyze floods produced on the Suhu River in Pechea village (Galați county), and factors that favor flooding. Flood analysis represents one of the main concerns of researchers in hydrology

On the need for streamflow drought frequency guidelines in the U.S.
Water Policy, 2021 Extreme drought and resulting low streamflows occur throughout the U.S., causing billions of dollars in annual losses, detrimentally impacting ecosystems, as well as agricultural, hydropower, navigation, water supply, recreation, and a myriad of other ...

Regional analysis of runoff thresholds behaviour in Southern Italy based on theoretically derived distributions [PDF]
Advances in Geosciences, 2011 The analysis of runoff thresholds and, more in general, the identification of main mechanisms of runoff generation controlling the flood frequency distribution is investigated, by means of theoretically derived flood frequency distributions, in the ...

Journal of Flood Risk Management, 2021 Flood frequency is commonly defined by natural flood characteristics such as flood peak, volume and duration. However, for floods at reservoir site, reservoir operation will significantly alter the natural flood process and flood frequency.

Applied Sciences, 2021 All flood hazard and risk assessment suffer from a certain degree of uncertainty due to multiple factors, such as flood frequency analysis, hydrodynamic model calibration, or flood damage (magnitude–damage functions) models. The uncertainty linked to the

Bivariate Flood Frequency Analysis Using Copulas
Proceedings, 2018 Flood frequency estimation for the design of hydraulic structures is usually performed as a univariate analysis of flood event magnitudes. However, recent studies show that for accurate return period estimation of the flood events, the dependence and the

Reassessing flood frequency for the Sussex Ouse, Lewes: the inclusion of historical flood information since AD 1650 [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2014 The application of historical flood information as a tool for augmenting instrumental flood data is increasingly recognised as a valuable tool. Most previous studies have focused on large catchments with historic settlements, this paper applies the ...

Flood Frequency Analysis of Akçay Stream
Sakarya Üniversitesi Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü Dergisi, 2018 It is extremely important to predict flood forecastsin planning water systems and reducing flood damage. For the Akçay stream,which is one of the important branches of the Sakarya river , the floodforecasts that can be seen at certain time frequencies ...
