The most direct method of design flood estimation is at-site flood frequency analysis, which
relies on a relatively long period of recorded streamflow data at a given site. Selection of an …

The generalized Pareto distribution (GPD) has been widely used in the extreme value
framework. The success of the GPD when applied to real data sets depends substantially on …

The current statistical methods applied in flood frequency analysis require long data records
to obtain reliable estimates, particularly for long return periods. Moreover, the choice of the …

The aim of this study is to investigate and determine hydrologically homogeneous regions
and to derive regional flood frequency estimates for 47 gauged sites in the West …

Selection of a flood frequency distribution and associated parameter estimation procedure is
an important step in flood frequency analysis. This is however a difficult task due to problems …

The higher-order linear moments (LH-moments) method is one of the most commonly used
methods for estimating the parameters of probability distributions in flood frequency analysis …

Daily extreme precipitation values are among environmental events with the most disastrous
consequences for human society. Information on the magnitudes and frequencies of …

An abundance of methods have been developed over the years to perform the frequency
analysis (FA) of extreme environmental variables. Although numerous comparisons …

Abstract The Pearl River Delta (PRD) has one of the most complicated deltaic drainage
systems with probably the highest density of crisscross-river network in the world. This article …

Reliable quantile estimates of annual peak flow discharges (APFDs) are needed for the
design and operation of major hydraulic infrastructures and for more general flood risk …
