Hydrological Drought: Processes and Estimation Methods for Streamflow and Groundwater,
Second Edition provides a comprehensive review of processes and estimation methods for …

A streamflow duration curve illustrates the relationship between the frequency and
magnitude of streamflow. Flow duration curves have a long history in the field of water …

This book describes EnvStats, a new comprehensive R package for environmental statistics
and the successor to the S-PLUS module EnvironmentalStats for S-PLUS (first released in …

SUMMARY L-moments are expectations of certain linear combinations of order statistics.
They can be defined for any random variable whose mean exists and form the basis of a …

Extreme environmental events, such as floods, droughts, rainstorms, and high winds, have
severe consequences for human society. Regional frequency analysis helps to solve the …

Theoretically, if the distribution of daily rainfall is known or justifiably assumed, then one
could argue, based on extreme value theory, that the distribution of the annual maxima of …

After five decades, the field of Statistical Hydrology continues to evolve and remains a very
active area of investigation. Researchers continue to examine various distributions, methods …

A flow-duration curve (FDC) is simply the complement of the cumulative distribution function
of daily, weekly, monthly (or some other time interval of) streamflow. Applications of FDCs …

What elements should a parsimonious model reproduce at a single scale to precisely
simulate rainfall at many scales? We posit these elements are:(a) the probability of dry and …
