The recurring flooding causes loss of life and damage to buildings and other structures, including bridges, sewerage systems, roadways and canals. It also frequently damages power transmission and sometimes power generation, which then has knock-on effects caused by the loss of power.

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.

Hydrological processes are present in time and space in a manner that is partly predictable and partly random. We call them stochastic processes. In that case, the value of certain observations is not correlated with adjacent observations. This type of approach is appropriate for observations/measurements of extreme hydrological events such as floods ...

Frequency Analysis of Flood Damage
Journal of Hydrologic Engineering, 2005Determination of flood damage frequencies constitutes a fundamental component of any comprehensive flood-risk methodology. A time series of flood damage may contain zero values. Therefore, the probability distribution of damage should be derived taking into consideration these zero values.

Log-logistic flood frequency analysis
Journal of Hydrology, 1988Abstract The log-logistic (LLG) distribution is evaluated for flood frequency analysis. Some of its properties and methods of parameter estimation are given, including a new method based on generalised least squares (GLS). The performance of the log-logistic distribution is compared with those of the generalised extreme value (GEV), three parameter ...

Parsimonious nonstationary flood frequency analysis
Advances in Water Resources, 2018Abstract There is now widespread awareness of the impact of anthropogenic influences on extreme floods (and droughts) and thus an increasing need for methods to account for such influences when estimating a frequency distribution. We introduce a parsimonious approach to nonstationary flood frequency analysis (NFFA) based on a bivariate regression ...

Bivariate Flood Frequency Analysis of Nonstationary Flood Characteristics
Journal of Hydrologic Engineering, 2019AbstractModeling the simultaneous behavior of flood characteristics, namely peak, volume, and duration, is essential for water resource planning and management.

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

Regional Flood Frequency Analysis using L-Moments
Civil-Comp Proceedings, 2009Regional flood frequency analysis was performed using L-moments. The analysis uses annual maximum flood data observed at a desired project location or streamgaging station to estimate flood quantiles. Regional flood frequency analysis involves four stages: screening of the data, identification of homogeneous regions, choice of a regional frequency ...
